With the coronavirus pandemic still raging and the wearing of face masks being mandatory in most parts of the world, maskelists have popped up in different parts of the world, as they see an opportunity to make some decent money from their new hobby.

The Holey Bible

A specially designed Bible with a cross-shaped hole that runs across the front and back covers of the holy book to remind readers that Jesus died on the cross for their sins, so that whoever believes in Him will not perish but have eternal life.

Maskism

When the authorities try to indoctrinate an oft-frightened or semi-informed lay public that mask-wearing is mandatory to protect them against the coronavirus, regardless of whether they are vaccinated or not, even though their knowledge with regard to the extent to which masking is effective against deadlier variants of the virus is half-baked.
With rising infection and mortality rates in spite of a decent rate of vaccination in the population, a number of governments in the West are turning to maskism to contain the corona crisis in the face of deadlier variants.

Imaginary Tales

Fictional stories or plots whose characters are the complex numbers or imaginary numbers—conversations among these once-ostracized numbers among mathematicians would allow listeners or readers to get intimate with their beautiful numerical properties.
Mrs. Jones thought that teaching complex numbers via imaginary tales might be a more interesting and creative way to introduce these “fictional numbers” to her students.

Pignant

When a woman is approximately π months pregnant, or is slightly past her first trimester.
When asked by her nosy colleagues whether she’s expecting a baby, Alice geekily told them that she’s pignant, much to their confusion by what she meant.
