MathPlus's definitions
A math theorem, formula, or method that originates from a particular country—for example, a deductive proof in plane geometry is unmistakably Greek, while a visual proof has a Chinese or Indian flavor.
In this age of regional or international collaboration among members of the mathematics community, when co-authoring a journal article often involves contributors of different nationalities, we can only expect native math to be the odd one in a sea of even hybrids.

Get the Native Mathmug. WHO’s comforting message to millions of anxious children worldwide about Father Christmas to assure them (without proof) that despite his older age they needn’t worry about his health during this pandemic crisis, as he would be able to deliver their presents on Christmas Eve—however, they are reminded that they and Santa Claus must adhere to physical social distancing and must obey their parents to sleep early on December 24.
Because Santa Claus is immune to Covid-19, WHO confirmed that most countries—except those few nations that forbid Christmas because it is an “infidel” or pagan festival—would relax their quarantine rules to enable Santa and his flying reindeer to enter their airspace, so that he could uninterruptedly and unobstructively deliver the presents before December 25.

Get the National Mask Daymug. When tens of millions of fans idolize their virtual stars or digital avatars, which are created thanks to computer animation and human actors, where every virtual idol has a real soul, each with their own personality traits, likes, and dislikes.
Business owners couldn’t care less whether “Virtual Idolatry” is “Vanity 2.0” or “Idolatry 3.0” as long as there is a lot of money to be made in the booming industry, which is estimated to be worth about US$230 million in China within the next two years.

Get the Virtual Idolatrymug. The slogan by diehard Trumpists and QAnonists who want their “political savior” to run again for President in 2024, because no credible Republicans have the moral courage to speak up against electoral injustice or fraud committed by the Deep State or Socialist Left in 2020.
