Pi Mafia 

Gang members who identify themselves with a π tattoo, which piques someone’s curiosity whether their leader was previously a math nerd, whose life had since taken a perilous turn.

Several members of the pi mafia, who were recently arrested for possessing illegal drugs and guns, confessed to having zero clues on the meaning of the tattoo they’re wearing, when questioned by the police.

Woke Math 

When both educators and politicians request that mathematicians and math educators relook at the history of their subject and make necessary rewrites so that the study of math doesn’t appear racist or supremacist.

Alt-right Trumpublicans and “fine patriots” are hell-bent to attack anyone who is proposing or promoting any form of woke math or multicultural math in school, which would credit the contributions of non-whites in math and math education.

π-shirt 

A T-shirt with a hole that resembles the shape of the number π—one that is debatably unsuitable to be worn by young girls and women unless they are wearing it over an unholey garment.

Some math geeks plan to wear a π-shirt on Pi Day to make a fashion statement before their peers and teachers.

What Color Is Pi? 

A question that could be answered metamathematically, synesthetically, or paranormally by those who are über-sensitive to the five senses normally experienced by the majority of humanity, or maybe by a minority who might be blessed with a sixth or seventh sense.

Could the answer to “What color is pi?” be any of the seven main colors of the rainbow? What are the odds that autistics, schizophrenics, and aspies have differing answers to the metamathematical question?

Anti-Pi 

The mathematical equivalent of “Anti-Mask” or/and “Anti-Vax.” When you refuse to protect yourself against innumeracy or quantitative illiteracy, by failing to learn basic or practical geometry that usually involves the ubiquitous number π, which makes you prone to being conned by mathematical charlatans or unscrupulous sales and marketing folks.

Guesstimate how many anti-pi people globally there are at any time in a given year.

Maskish 

Short for “Mask Fetish.” Having a sexual fantasy with a virtual masked hottie, gorgeous robot, or voice assistant with a sexy voice—none of which is arguably forbidden to fulfill the desires of someone who is obsessed with anything AI.

Judge Smith told prosecutors that it’s not illegal for the ex-US president to mindfuck his robots or dolls, so he can’t be charged for his maskish habit, although it’s morally debatable whether serially indulging in such a grey activity could be detrimental to his mental health.

Masked by Pi 

When a formula looks more complex than it is because it contains the constant π, whose sight or sound often frightens those who suffer from math anxiety.

Guesstimate how many mature students worldwide are reluctant to sign up for short math or statistics courses to upgrade themselves, because they are masked by pi.
