BT & AT

Short for “Before Trump” and “After Trump.” The four chaotic or dreadful years (2016–2020) a corrupt and inept fake president spent at the White House, whose actions and inactions made him a laughingstock of the world, not forgetting his mishandling of the coronavirus pandemic, which led to an obscene number of preventable infections and deaths.

A decade or a quarter century from now, Americans would still remember the politically tumultuous 2016–2020 period as the BT & AT years, when the country lost its moral footing on the global stage, thanks to the Pharisee-in-Chief or Pinocchio-in-Chief.

Virtual Slap

A small digital image or icon that depicts someone slap someone else because they have cracked a joke on them or their loved ones—a depiction of the knee-jerk reaction of the uninhibited or emotionally challenged perpetrator towards their target of abuse to get even with them.

At a recent graduation ceremony held on Zoom, Dr. Sanjib, a pro-BJP graduate, shot a virtual slap emoji to Prof. Raj, because the latter had irreligiously poked fun at his holy cow.

Coronatrumped

When you are being lied to that the coronavirus is just another flu that would go away by Easter or Christmas, or that mask-wearing or social distancing is optional unless you want to be politically correct.

Ann felt coronatrumped by her boyfriend, who told her that no one could really be infected by casual kissing.

Piriosity

When someone is radically curious about the number π, hoping to experience some aha’s once in a while, when she reveals some juicy little theorems or lemmas about her.

The potential extinction of piriosity among math educators in MAGA states is an emergency, which is compounded by politicians’ own agenda to ban “woke math”
curriculums aimed at pacifying voters who want a watered-down version of Common Core Math or Singapore Math.

Bless Putin

The Russian or Communist equivalent of “Bless Trump” or “Bless Kim” in the aftermath of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. When an oft-unforgiving world is divinely commanded to bless or love their political enemy rather than curse or hate them—an almost impossible human thing to do sans the love of Christ and the obedience not to harbor ill will vis-à-vis those who have wronged, harmed, or killed others.

Guesstimate how many people today outside Russia and Crimea would obediently bless Putin rather than curse him— and his gang of murderers and mercenaries—in spite of their evil acts.

Covidead-19

When the number of people in a country or city who suffer their last heartbeat due to the coronavirus on a given day is exactly nineteen.

Superstitious gamblers in some Asian countries morbidly think that 1919 is a “lucky” 4D number if they witness a Covidead-19 tragedy.

Putin the Great

The unofficial title conferred by millions of mainland Chinese netizens on Dictator Vladimir Putin for waging a war against the US and its allies via Ukraine, which are afraid of China’s economic and military rise and the world order (or disorder) it would create—Chinese jingoists view him as “the greatest strategist” of the 21st century, who would help deliver resources-rich developing nations from American hegemony and hypocrisy.

Pro-Russia, pro-Putin, and pro-war Chinese online users, particularly the so-called “little pinks,” see President Putin as a demigod or political savior—it’s no surprise that these diehard pro-Xi fans call him “Putin the Great.”
