Fasters's definitions
The use of variables, equations, or inequalities to poke fun at the adulterous adventures of financially corrupt ex-presidents or ex-prime ministers, and of morally bankrupt priests or Pharisees, who continually deny having an affair with paid porn stars or Playboy models in spite of indisputable proof of hush money being involved to cover up their cheating habits.
A quick-and-dirty naked algebra question, which was censored by Floridian “woke math” educators, is the following: “Two b’s for $x + $130K + $y fine (and $z for possible bribery in exchange for a shorter stay behind bars). Guesstimate x, y, and z.”

Get the Naked Algebramug. Short for “Spy Pi.” The coded term for a math secret agent—who usually works as a journal or college textbook math editor, reviewer, or consultant—who would leak out information about submitted journal articles or contracted unedited manuscripts on the number π to some tenured faculty members (or to those seeking a permanent position in academia) in exchange for cash or favors.
Although the pool of 007 π operatives worldwide is unknown, however, their number is likely to be much higher than expected, as they’re sought after by faculty members who’d resort to unethical means and ways to secure tenure.

Get the 007 πmug. A math educator who approaches a question or problem from a new angle, by not thinking outside the box, but throwing out the box entirely, to increase their chances of experiencing an aha!
Be it trying to think about a wicked problem from a rogue leader’s viewpoint (like Trump, Putin, or Kim) and see what pops up; or self-imposing a set of rules and a time limit to focus on the issue; or reading the Bible and praying in the Spirit, is what some mathematical weirdos would playfully do to tackle their problem.

Get the Mathematical Weirdomug. A synesthetic question that would best be posed to idiot savants, whose varying answers would probably be based on their degree of autism, or to some math nerds suffering from schizophrenia.
Some math geeks turned psychologists think that they too could figure out the answer to “What’s the temperature of pi?” without being afflicted with any mental disorders.

Get the What’s the Temperature of Pi?mug. A parrot that has been trained to recite the first few digits of the decimal number π—the more digits they can regurgitate, the dearer they are.

Get the Pirrotmug. HOT (higher-order thinking) math questions that give you an intellectual kick to the point that they could temporarily numb your mind before you experience an aha! in solving them—mala is a spicy and numbing seasoning made from Sichuan peppercorn and chilli.
Geeks in Singapore who are attending enrichment math programmes from premium tuition centers have been begging their coaches for more mala math quickies and trickies and toughies to satisfy their mathematical cravings.

Get the Mala Mathmug. The Greek name for WHO’s next-in-line Covid-19 variant of concern, which is one mutation away from Omicron—a viral christening by WHO could push math teachers, students, and parents worldwide to take up arms against them.
With the word “pi” being used by millions of math students and teachers every day, what are the chances that Pi would be as lucky as Xi, the Greek letter that wasn’t used to coin a Covid-19 variant—which was begging to be picked up—because it’s a popular name among certain ethnic peoples, not to say, the surname of a present president of a state?
