Piflation

Short for “Pi Inflation.” The pi equivalent of inflation, when more digits of the decimal number π are needed over time for computational or practical purposes to achieve a better accuracy or to prevent potential astronomical mishaps.

In the past, ordinary folks needed at most three digits of π for most everyday math computations; later, rocket scientists used fifteen digits for interplanetary missions; and today numerologists need millions of them to search for someone’s date of birth, cellphone number, wedding anniversary, or lottery or lucky numbers—piflation is inevitable to satisfy man’s ever-growing mathematical needs and wants.

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.”

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.

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

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.

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.

Piminence

Short for “Pi Prominence.” Being known on social media for posting anything irreverent, irreligious, humorous, silly, political, or even offensive on the number π, be they pi definitions and haikus, pi art and memes, pi jokes and cartoons, and pi NFTs and tokens.

Prof. Poppy’s piminence didn’t go unnoticed in academic circles, because his postings please the liberals but piss off the conservatives.
