When mask wearing in most parts of the world remains mandatory to protect the population from infection, as a large proportion of them have yet to be vaccinated, with some anti-maskers or maskholes in the name of personal rights playing hide-and-seek with the authorities to avoid donning a face mask.
Although only fully vaccinated people are exempted from wearing a mask in public, tens of thousands of unjabbed diehard Trumpists in several red states pay lip service to the mask rules, because they figure out that the odds of them getting caught are very low.

Get the Mask Rulesmug. Short for “Vaccinated Souls.” When unjabbed saved souls might temporarily be denied entry at Pearly Gates until they present their vaccination certificate, in which case they would be sent back to Earth to get their WHO-approved shot before they could enjoy the eternal privileges of their stress- and suffering-free status.
Guesstimate how many born-agains, not considered V-souls, would be turned away in 2021, who failed to take into account that few angels were trained to detect any asymptomatic corona cases.

Get the V-Soulsmug. Brain-unfriendly math questions that leverage on the wealth of South African-born billionaire Elon Musk, whom mainland Chinese worship as “King of Mars” or “Rocket Man” for building flying cars and colonising the cosmos—they view Mr. Musk as a coldblooded god, compared to Jack Ma, whom they call a “performing monkey.”
Two Musk Math questions are:
a) Guesstimate how many face masks China could produce from billionaire Musk’s obscene wealth.
b) If Mr. Musk spent ten thousand dollars every day, would he have enough money left by the time he experienced his last heartbeat?

Get the Musk Mathmug. A question mark that has been straightened out by God, if you put your faith in Him for things you don’t understand—when you are in the valley where life seems unfair, yet you wait upon His grace and goodness to turn things around.
Whenever you find yourself in those dark places (breakup, betrayal, death, debt, divorce, hurt, job loss, sickness, …), know that God can turn your question marks into exclamation points.

Get the Exclamation Pointmug. 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. A math word or term that has graduated from noun to verb—for example, “zero,” “square,” and “number.”
Mathematical verbs, such as model, pattern, and fractal, are the mathematical equivalents of Google, Xerox, and Zoom.

Get the Mathematical Verbmug. The name of a barking dog that can’t bite, so over time people have got used to tolerating its noise pollution, which could cause an earache or headache at times, when it doesn’t get what it wants.
During the rut, Donald Trump gets pretty aggressive when it has to fight with other domineering dogs to lure the bitch of choice.
