Algebra

The branch of mathematics that turns simple-minded students into symbol-minded graduates, who work out the values of unknowns x’s, y’s, z’s with the help of a’s, b’s, c’s.
Algebra helps students to move from the particular to the general, as they learn to speak the language of science.

Piece of Pi

A math question that is considered so easy to solve, or a math paper that turns out to be as easy as pie—a no-brainer even for those who are anxious or petrified about certain brain-unfriendly school or college math topics.
Most of the 2021 grades 1–5 math exam papers in certain US red states were a piece of pi for the a large proportion of students during the Covid-19 pandemic.

Murder by Pi

When a gifted child’s Xmas wish for Santa Claus is to be rewarded with the last digit of the number π, which prompted the Donor-in-Chief to commit a “mathematical crime,” because he couldn’t fulfill the child’s “Christmaths” wish.
A few billion children worldwide would miss their Christmas gift this year, because Father Christmas had been charged for murder by pi—he’d first be spending the twelve days of Christmas behind bars before being flown to a North Korean or Siberian prison.

Hacking Heaven

When the laity would donate cash; cryptocurrencies and NFTs; prized items like gold, diamond, coins, stamps, and paintings; and properties, so that the clergy could intercede for them before God to have their sins and those of their loved ones forgiven—generous or ostentatious donations on a regular basis would only set in motion a bountiful reward on high, be it material or/and spiritual blessings.
To upgrade the status of deceased family members from hell to purgatory, or from purgatory to heaven, the “political messiah” is encouraging his ultra-MAGA patriots to go to his “anointed” or “Vatican-approved” website to buy indulgences or “get-out-of-hell tickets” for them, and also for their own future sins—he’s hacking heaven by resurrecting or normalizing the banned spiritual practice of the Church.

Post Truth

A politically correct phrase for “fake news” or “alternative facts”—a hypocrite’s or Pharisee’s word for “bullshit.”
Thanks to their Bullshitter-in-Chief, most morally bankrupt GOP members have been lying comatose on their bed of post truths even before the pandemic struck.

Corona Calculus

When politicians enact unpopular, painful measures to reduce the number of Covid-19 infections and deaths, while tapping on the country’s financial reserves or borrowing money to procure as many vaccines, masks, ventilators, and PPEs for the population.
Had Donald J. Trump’s corona calculus been to minimize infection and death rather than scheme to reduce his business losses, and to maximize supplies of medical equipment and essential goods instead of benefiting himself and his cronies, he might still be serving a second term today.

Pi Dung

All the falsehoods, white lies, or fake news about the number π that conspiracy-minded Trumpublicans and QAnonists share on social media to their tribes, most of whom are ladle-fed with daily Fox News misinformation—for example, the googolth digit of π is the biblical value of 3; ET sent an apocalyptic message to earthlings on Pi Day via a Mar-a-Lago resort’s terminal.
Is pi dung a subset of woke math or a root of white supremacy math?
