A math geek’s hashtag used to alert “pi patriots or parasites” that they just posted some factoids or juicy little theorem about mathematics’s beloved constant, which might arouse their interest and even lead some of them to experience an aha!
Guesstimate how many times #π has so far appeared on Twitter since the planet was plagued with Covid-19.

Get the #πmug. A punctuation mark known as period (in the U.S.) or full stop (in the U.K.). A tiny dot that has traditionally been used to end sentences and for abbreviations (such as B.C., A.D., and etc.), but has since evolved to rule the digital dot-com universe (via domain names), to write decimals, and (in Europe) to separate numbers in thousands (€ 7.000.000).

Get the .mug. When math authors or publishers deliberately or inadvertently use religious, satanic, or New Age symbols, icons, or logos, made up of geometric shapes, in their books to bewitch schoolchildren into the occultic or demonic world.
A grade two Chinese title was being recalled because it arguably contains a “woke geometry” item—the publisher has since apologized to its readers for depicting a bloody-looking pentagram, whereby kids are required to identify all geometric shapes that make up the “satanic symbol.”

Get the Woke Geometrymug. A flowery term for “home jail”—when people are only allowed to go out to buy food or to obtain “essential services,” such as buying guns, getting tattooed, and dog grooming, in the fastest possible time, while interacting with the least number of people to avoid infecting them with the virus.
A lockdown comes in different shapes and sizes, which is based on the country’s infection rate and death toll (and whether its head of state, governor, or mayor is running for a reelection before year end).

Get the Lockdownmug. Not the faith described in the Bible, which doesn’t depend on the storms and successes of life, but rather is based on the unshakable (certain, secure, and sure) promises found in the Word of God—faith is the substance (or assurance) of things hoped for, the evidence (or conviction) of things not seen, as revealed in Hebrews 11:1.
If “faith is a feeling.”—which is dictated by emotions resulting from the ebb and flow of life—it’s no surprise that this kind of fleeting or worldly faith doesn’t resonate with those who demand proof before belief.

Get the Faith Is a Feeling.mug. Those who think they have the moral authority to take pictures of those who break the lockdown rules during the coronavirus crisis, then post them online to shame the culprits, and in some cases to drag them out of their homes to beat or kill them.
On religious or superstitious grounds, corona vigilantes around the world are taking the law into their own hands during the lockdowns to expose and shame the lawbreakers.

Get the Corona Vigilantemug. The nontrivial solution to the equation a + b + c = a × b × c, where a, b, and c are positive integers—the sum and the product of three whole numbers are the same.
Besides 1 + 2 + 3 = 1 × 2 × 3, the numbers 1, 2, and 3 form the set of three integers such that each divides the sum of the other two, and their reciprocals show that the number 1 can be expressed as the sum of three unit fractions: 1 = 1/2 + 1/3 + 1/6.
