Mindful Math

Also known as “New Age Math.” When the buzzword “mindful” subliminally conveys the idea that one can master the most disliked school subject, by cultivating a relaxed mind for the brain to focus on what is required in a math question—a mind-over-math approach via meditation and relaxation to reduce fear and failure.
The math education industry hasn’t been spared by the Mindfulness Movement, which is promoting “Mindful Math” programs countrywide to target the math-anxious kids of the rich and the famous—they’re preaching the feel-good gospel that math success is more psychological than logical.

Corona Olympics

When deadlier variants of Covid-19 from different countries compete with each other to see which of them could cause the most damage or pain to earthlings until effective vaccination forces them to journey to other planets.
At the 2021 Corona Olympics, which country is likely to strike gold in both the infection and mortality events? A nation with low vaccination rate; or one that is continually plagued with nationwide protests, where citizens’ personal choices with regard to masking and vaccination overrule any political mandate to protect themselves and others?

Pandemic Ghost

The spirit of death that loves visiting the ICUs to usher departed wicked souls, who were not able to see their loved ones before their last heartbeat, to an even darker side of eternity, because their earthly deeds fall short of the criteria to entering heaven.
Most born-again Christians aren’t frightened of the pandemic ghost, because they know that their Savior and the angels are waiting for them at St. Peter’s Gate.

lazy-roo

A social disease whereby customers use their cellphones to order their food, by being overdependent on food delivery rather than cooking at home, or walking a few minutes to a nearby coffeeshop, hawker center, or foodcourt.
Guesstimate how many Singaporeans suffering from lazy-roo would develop health or mobility issues every year long before they could afford to retire.

MASK Is a Four-Letter Word

When non-mask-wearing in public has become a symbol of noncompliance, defiance, or rebellion among members of right-wing political parties or alt-right religious or conspiratorial groups.
Hardcore white racists and supremacists in the US and the West deny the protective health benefits of the mask against the coronavirus—for them, mask is a four-letter word, and donning a mask is a vain habit of the weaklings, who have surrendered their personal rights to the authority.

Supreme Shit

The stools of Dictator Kim Jong Un, who is always accompanied by portable toilets to prevent any poo divers from analyzing them, lest they give away rich information about his poor health condition.
Unconfirmed reports hint that the Trump-Kim meeting nearly got aborted when young Dictator Kim refused to let President Trump use one of his toilets lest his supreme shit get contaminated with that of an old white man.

Pitoid

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.
