TikTok Math 

When math educators could tap on the rich made-in-China app’s potential, which is popular among millennials and creatives worldwide, to depict the lighter or irreverent side of math and math education, by sending the subtle or sexy message that math needn’t be a four-letter “four-letter” word.
If teachers and tutors were to leverage on TikTok Math possibilities or prospects to help raise the quantitative literacy of millions of math-anxious students, billions of dollars could be saved by many Ministries of Education worldwide every year.

Killer App 

When at the click of a link sent via an app, someone’s digital device is virally infected or disabled, often with the terrorist sender or hacker able to retrieve the data stored on the recipient’s phone, tablet, or watch.
After John unsuspiciously clicked on a link in a WhatsApp fake member’s message, no one in the chat group anticipated that the killer app would facilitate the transmission of the Russian virus at such a lethal speed, which wiped out the data stored on all twelve members’ devices.

Putin Number

A deadly or evil number on the manpower and military equipment, or on the timing of a kidnapping, terrorist attack, or foreign invasion, that Dictator Vladimir Putin would get from his military advisers in order for Russian forces, spies, terrorists, or mercenaries to cause the most damage to their political foes or to any anti-Russia or anti-Putin nations.
Be it in poisoning political foes living in foreign lands, sending extra mercenaries to Ukraine, or shipping ammunition to keep rogue leaders in power, all these evil acts require an optimal Putin number to minimize failure and avoid global embarrassment.

WFH Math 

Short for “Working from Home Math.” When home-based teaching and learning of math is felt to be semi-ineffective or unproductive for most teachers and students, who are still banned from schools as a result of the coronavirus pandemic.
Some Puritan or Trumpublican parents wanted Mr. Putins to be fired after he mistyped “WTF Math” instead of “WFH Math” on the WhatsApp Teachers-Parents group.

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.”

There is more than one way to bake a pi. 

A geeky way of saying that one can derive the value of π from different methods, whose approximated values could be obtained from fractions or formulas.
Just as there are many ways to skin a mathematical cat, there is more than one way to bake a pi.
