Apple

A fruit of seduction by the devil to the woman when she was together with her other half in the Garden of Eden, from the beginning, as though she needed one to get excited when a strawberry would do.
The apple is like the fruity equivalent of the “unlucky Friday 13,” which has received such a bad press from superstitious folks, who would blame the date for anything that could possibly go wrong on that “evil day.”

Piometry

The use of art to creatively depict the number π to make it appear like porn math to an oft-innumerate public—when the most famous constant in mathematics looks pleasing to their naked eye albeit it is probably not so to their mind’s eye.
Even mathophobic artists couldn’t resist from indulging in some piometry every now and then to give their audience a faux appreciation of numerical or symbolic elegance.

666-Vaccinated

The devilish term sarcastically used by brainwashed Fox News viewers and diehard Trumpublican evangelicals, or by those who only watch right-wing media channels, for a “vaccine passport,” which these anti-vaxxers would need if they wished to fly to countries that only welcome immunized passengers.
Guesstimate how many 666-vaccinated documents would be issued in the United States in 2021.

Predatory Math

When math educators or publishers turn things around, from being a prey to a predator, by outwitting their competitors, because they know what they have to do to be better than them.
To stand out from the crowd, Jeff embraces the predatory math mindset to outsmart the competition, which were left licking their wounds.

Fake Math

A term used by those who know beforehand that they don’t stand a chance to pass their math test or exam unless they resort to lying, cheating, or bribery—they often blame the teacher for bias against them, practicing unfair grading, or setting unrealistic or artificial questions that are confusing and open to different interpretations.
Guesstimate how many Trumpublican students in red states every year would scapegoat fake math for their failure to get a passing grade in their middle- or high-school math paper rather than putting in the time and effort to master the math concepts.

QAlculus

Short for “QAnon Calculus.” When white supremacists or racists claim that God set the white race apart from other races, by empowering them with the tools of calculus, so that any inventions they come up with would prove to others, who idolize gods and goddesses, that they are a privileged or selected lot.
Citing Newton and Leibniz as QAlculus ambassadors, alt-right Trumpists and QAnonists told their brethren that both British and German mathematics would witness a second mathematical revolution in the next decade or so.

Covid-👽

When conspiracists or Trumpists-turned-QAnonists attributed the origin of the coronavirus not to a lab in Wuhan but to the extraterrestrials that apparently wanted to harm the earthlings, or to prove to them that they are inferior to other galactic beings.
President Trump, who blamed China for infecting the US with Covid-19, refused to expose the conspiracy promoted by some of his supporters for linking Covid-👽 to the high number of infection cases and deaths plaguing the country.
