#TrumpMath

A Twitter hashtag that mathematically pokes fun at the twice-impeached, thrice-married Donald J. Trump, by divining or predicting what he would do based on his idiocies and idiosyncrasies, which have kept thousands of reporters, writers, and comedians worldwide happy (and also lazy)—they were blessed with daily free juicy materials from the Pinocchio-in-Chief turned Pharisee-in-Chief to write about.
#TrumpMath parodies Trump’s fake news, which revolves around dishonesty, hypocrisy, racism, supremacism, vanity, and xenophobia, among other things.

Pitrepreneur

A math educator or geek who plans to turn their passion or obsession for the number π into cash.
Be it via newly coined pi-related definitions, factoids, and jokes on mugs and T-shirts; pop math books on or about pi for dummies, idiots, and morons; or pi NFTs and PiCoins, Prof. Ian, a self-professed pitrepreneur, wants to turn his geeky passion into obscene profits.

Pithagorean

A disciple of the Greek mathematician Pythagoras (c. 500 BC), who was puzzled that for any circle, the ratio of its perimeter to diameter has always the same approximate value of 3.1, leading them to wonder whether the constant number was imbued with any mystical or numerological significance.
The first mathematical murder unprovenly took place when a Pithagorean was thrown into the sea by his mathematical brethren, when he blasphemed that the constant value associated with any circle couldn’t exactly be written as a ratio of two whole numbers, which contradicted his master’s numerical gospel that everything in the universe could only be expressed in whole numbers or their ratios.

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.

Tai Ji and Pi

When the practice of Tai Ji (or T’ai Chi) could metaphysically or transcendentally propel someone to experience an aha! on the number π.
Speaking to a group of Buddhist mathematicians and math educators, a Tibetan lama challenged his audience to explore the mutual benefits of Tai Ji and Pi.

Wi-Pi

Electromagnetic waves or microwaves that emit signals that are linked to the digits of the decimal number π for nonobvious or mysterious reasons—for instance, is the covert activity used to spy on rogue states, to communicate with extraterrestrials, or to jam enemies’ signals?
It’s not known what the side effects of wi-pi are when it’s sent out in high doses in public squares.

Covidagon

What a layperson would call a 19-sided polygon or 19-gon rather than an enneadecagon or enneakaidecagon.
A corona math question for geeks: “Show that the interior angle in a regular covidagon is 161¹/₁₉°.”
