Covido's definitions

A picture is worth 280 characters.

A Liar-in-Chief’s immoral equivalent of “A picture is worth a thousand words.” When a caustic, narcissistic, racist, supremacist, or xenophobic tweet has the same negative or nauseating effect as a fake or frightening GIF.

In TrumpWorld, or among an obscene number of morally corrupt Trumpublican lawmakers, a picture is worth 280 characters.

Covid-🐼

When China wants to divert the world attention that it is responsible for the coronavirus pandemic, by extending its panda diplomacy in developed countries to mask or vaccine diplomacy in developing nations—it has donated planefuls of free masks to dictatorial regimes, and promises them first-priority vaccines once they are available.

Thanks to Covid-🐼, China hopes to make up for its lies and cover-ups in not alerting the world of the coronavirus pandemic earlier, which could have prevented millions of infections and saved tens of thousands of lives globally.

The Covidization of Singapore Math

When math writers or publishers in Singapore withheld or delayed publishing any new titles during the lockdown, because local bookstores were considered non-essential businesses, and in the living-with-Covid new normal, new foreign titles are being axed for being too dear to be shipped overseas due to rising freight costs and recurring global supply chain disruptions.

No one knows whether the publication of foreign editions of Singapore math textbooks is heading towards a subset industry or not as a result of the covidization of Singapore math.

Spotifying Trump’s Lies

When some Trumpreneurs are entertaining the idea of making the Pinocchio-in-Chief’s manifold lies available on Spotify in different music or podcast formats so that they sound pleasing or soothing to the ears of millions of ultra-MAGA cult members.

Guesstimate how much royalty creators could be raking in every month by Spotifying Trump’s lies in different languages.

Maskquerade

When you act as if you are a better-looking person than what you look like in real life by dressing smartly because your face mask conceals your facial flaws, or you pretend to be a plain Jane via a face mask to avoid or minimize any public stare by dressing sloppily.

Since the start of the pandemic, millions of women (and a few thousand men) have saved lots of money on cosmetics, because they maskquerade themselves so well on those days when they need to go back to the office.

Carnivak-Cov

Sputnik V for animals, which unprovenly generates antibodies in dogs, cats, foxes, and mink, by protecting them from Covid-19 for at least half a year, and prevents viral mutations from developing.

Just as Sputnik V was the world’s first registered half-baked Covid-19 vaccine for humans, Carnivak-Cov is the world’s first registered half-trialed Covid-19 vaccine for animals—a double first for Russia, as it pursues its vaccine diplomacy in the developing world.

🦤 🔢

Short for “Dodo Math.” Dated math topics, questions, or heuristics that may still interest some curious or eccentric recreational mathematicians or math educators, who in turn might share their “new knowledge” with a geeky or gray-haired audience keen to learn about the mathematics of yesteryear.

Square rooting and finding logarithms with a slide rule and on an abacus are two 🦤 🔢 lessons popular among symbol-minded senior citizens.
