Short for “Pi Factoid.” Tidbits or juicy bits about the number π that seldom make it to the side pages of math textbooks.
Some examples of pitoids are:
a) In a mathematical beauty contest, the number π would be the Miss Universe among the constants.
b) Aliens are more likely to communicate to earthlings in terms of e, i, and π rather than 0 and 1.
c) No number in popular culture is more famous than π.

The politically correct term for white supremacists-turned-terrorists, or brainwashed conspiracists-turned-extremists, who rationalize that merely holding peaceful protests would not prevent an “illegitimate” president-elect who “stole the vote” from taking office, much less stop socialism and communism to take root in the country, but mob violence could grant them their political wish.
After the armed insurrection perpetrated by his diehard supporters who broke into the Capitol and changed the American flag with the Trump flag, Donald J. Trump called those rioters and thugs "great patriots."

When God allowed Lucifer to let Donald Trump use Twitter to racially electrify his mostly white blue-collar supporters to vote against “crooked” Hillary Clinton, although millions of “illegal votes” were cast against him.
Without the Twitter god, President Trump is “politically impotent,” and if the dishonest press gang together to offer him scant coverage, he’s socially bankrupt—when political alienation or isolation could be worse than a presidential impeachment.

A sinner’s prayer to God to come quickly to save them, so that those who want them to die be ashamed and confused, or who wish to hurt or laugh at them be disgraced for what they have done, while those who seek Him will rejoice in Him and proclaim, “Praise God!”
Psalm 70 reminds believers that the weight of their enemies’ shame, who rejoice in their misfortune or misery, would force them to turn back, and that God is the One who helps them and saves them.

A pop cultural term for counting in base 8, because each character in the Simpson family was born with four fingers on each hand, which means they would count like this: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 10, 11, …, such that all eight-fingered members could do without the symbols 8 or 9.
In Simpsons math, “If Homer and Marge and their four kids looked at two spiders, how would they write and pronounce the total number of their legs?” 20 and “two-zero” rather than “twenty.”

Short for “Vaccinated Souls.” When unjabbed saved souls might temporarily be denied entry at Pearly Gates until they present their vaccination certificate, in which case they would be sent back to Earth to get their WHO-approved shot before they could enjoy the eternal privileges of their stress- and suffering-free status.
Guesstimate how many born-agains, not considered V-souls, would be turned away in 2021, who failed to take into account that few angels were trained to detect any asymptomatic corona cases.

When Singapore parents proudly (or boastfully) display their child’s “academic achievement” or “leadership or volunteering award” on Facebook to tell the world how “exam-smart,” “inspiring,” or “caring” he or she is—or maybe to boost their own fragile egos.
Besides showcasing on social media the exotic food they’ve partaken of, or the branded goods they’ve purchased, during their overseas trips, few vain Singaporeans would miss awardising their children’s school achievements, desiring to get dozens of likes from friends and fans.
