Immoral Vaccination

When high-income countries with high vaccination rates would almost have to beg or coax their citizens to get their third booster shots rather than giving or selling their surplus or hoarded vaccines to developing nations, where the people long to get jabbed.
Nations guilty of immoral vaccination only agree to donate their near-expiry vaccines to desperate pro-Western developing countries, or decide to practice “dose sharing” with another developed country that has a low vaccination rate and a low supply of Western vaccines.

Marijuana Math

The use of marijuana or illegal drugs as a means of relaxation, or as an outlet for creativity, among the best brains in academia to crack those fiendish math problems.
It’s a common sight to see that a number of first-rate mathematicians are heavy smokers, especially when they need a break from their half-baked proofs; however, less commonly known is that the more daring ones would consider marijuana math, hoping for an aha! experience in the process.

Christmas Pi

When symbol-minded folks decide to come up with some math crackers in the form of π-related quickies and trickies for Christmas to enliven the mood of math geeks, who couldn’t wait to go back to school to indulge themselves in some creative problem solving.
Moonlighting school math teachers in Singapore have been pressured by some owners of tuition or enrichment math centers to come up with at least twenty-five brain-unfriendly Christmas pi questions to meet the mathematical needs and wants of their restless, bored students.

Same-Same-But-Different Singapore Math

When the methodology and pedagogy used in Singapore math textbooks and supplementary titles (foreign and local editions) at the same grade are believed or perceived to be equivalent, yet the level of difficulty of the brain-unfriendly questions in both editions differs significantly—the tailor-made overseas editions are often one or two grades lower than the local one.
US math educators need to take note of the same-same-but-different Singapore math titles to temper their expectations of their students’ mathematical proficiency compared to that of their Singaporean counterparts.

Jolly-Jabbed

Someone who tries to get vaccinated a multiple times the recommended number of jabs, because these extra shots had apparently helped them “stay healthy” with quasi-zero adverse effects, while at the same time relieving them of acute or chronic pain, or getting rid of other health conditions.
Mr. Mandal, who claimed to have been jolly-jabbed at least 11 times of the Covid-19 vaccine, was barred from receiving his 12th shot, after the authorities horrifyingly found out about his serial deceits.

Trumporist

A label for a pro-Trump white racist and supremacist turned terrorist—named after Donald J. Trump’s radicalized diehard supporters who staged a coup at the Capitol hoping to extend his stay at the White House.
Guesstimate how many trumporists nationwide are on stand by for the 2022 and 2024 state elections.

Singapore

A free-market economy that is unspokenly flushed with cash from tax fugitives, making revenue earned from tourism and exported goods and services pale in comparison.
Among the unofficially reported tax fugitives who became Singapore citizens are Facebook co-founder Eduardo Saverin, Chinese movie stars Jet Li and Gong Li, investment guru Jim Rogers, not to say, the thousands of millionaires from Indonesia, India, Malaysia, and India.
