Out-of-Order Math

When someone fails to carry out the operations in a math problem correctly, often because they couldn’t remember the rule, or they use their own oft-flawed logic to do so.

John flunked his recent class test, because he’s a victim of out-of-order math—he repeatedly misused the BODMAS rule to simplify arithmetic expressions, and misapplied the procedure to find the inverse of a matrix.

Pi

The post-Omicron coronavirus variant that is suing the WHO for refusing to credit her for reasons (political, racial, …, mathematical) unknown to, or hidden from, her, even after she had visited millions of urban homes in China and spent some uneasy time with the residents from all social strata, in recent weeks.

With tens of millions of migrant workers going back to their villages to visit their loved ones in the Lunar New Year of the Rabbit, Pi rationalized that her targeted billion-odd visitations in rural areas wouldn’t go unnoticed by WHO officials, who’d be forced to grant her overdue Greek citizenship among fellow Covid-19 variants.

Xianity

The religion of Donald J. Trump and his ultra-MAGA patriots, where X is a spiritual unknown—an unspoken health-and-wealth gospel that is often associated with a mélange of white racism or supremacism and faux Christianity.

Believers of Xianity are lured to the gospel teachings of Hannity and Tucker on Fox News, while the hardcore believers, who’re obsessed with the white population being outbred by immigrants, Mohammedan migrants, and refugees, would get their daily spiritual feeding on OANN and NewsMax.

Pi Star Hotel

A three-star-plus hotel that is popular among lower-middle-class tourists, who want a free-and-easy experience, without being pressured to join local group tours to visit oft-spiritually unclean or demonic places of worship and retail shops (which promise to give a percentage of their profits to the tour guide).

The “fine” city of Singapore plans to build more pi star hotels in coming years to target travelers from emerging economies, who couldn’t afford to stay in a five-star hotel, yet wished to receive a perceived first-class visitors’ treatment.

Trump’s Witnesses

Also known as the “Trump Old Party” (TOP). A far-right subgroup of the GOP, which may be likened to a political equivalent of Jehovah’s Witnesses. White nationalists who misuse Christianity to reach out to undecided or apathetic voters, by warning them to stay away from socialist or alt-left politicians who support abortion, same-sex marriages, illegal immigration, and multiculturalism.

Guesstimate how many ultra-MAGA patriots in red-pilled states who just hate being called “Trump’s Witnesses.”

Pifulness

Also known as “Pi Playfulness.” Having fun and toying around with the number π mentally, artfully, philosophically, poetically, or spiritually.

Pifulness isn’t so much about coming up with a new pi theorem or an elegant proof—unless that’s your thing—but it’s also about exploring and expanding the use of pi beyond mathematics or science.

< and >

The inequality or “woke math” signs for “greater than” (>) and “less than” (<), which often confuse an obscene number of young schoolchildren worldwide, because they mistake one sign for another.

Two metamathematics questions on “< and >” are:
True or False: (a) 3 > ⁵ and (b) ₅ < 4.
