Dieversity
The opposite of diversity, which white racists or supremacists unashamedly embrace, because having non-white smarter staff or colleagues in the workplace would threaten their job security and expose their bigotry and ineptitude.
Trump’s dieversity strategy benefits him and his cronies in the short term, but not the once-known country of opportunity for everybody willing to work hard and smart.

Chili Math
Fiendish math questions that are likely to get someone mentally constipated, or to make them feel logically disgusted, if they attempt to solving them without any formal training or preparation.
Like olympiad math, chili math should be introduced only to mathematically precocious kids lest the questions prove logically repugnant to immature or young minds.

Math
A dirty word among non-symbol-minded folks who are not keen, or find it brain-unfriendly, to learn the language of mass, length, and time; instead, they would rather pay the exam-smart or geeks to do the oft-tedious task for them.
Trump™
When Donald J. Trump thought he experienced an aha! in the middle of the night after his Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) lies-plagued speech that trademarking part of his name, if approved, would swiftly help him pay his bigly debts and mounting legal fees without having to serially cook the books.
Vaccine Dilemma
To inoculate frontline workers and the vulnerable everywhere in the world first, or to vaccinate everybody in the developed world first before vaccinating those in the developing world.
On moral grounds, rich countries face a vaccine dilemma: should they let medical personnel from rogue or dictatorial nations like North Korea and Venezuela be jabbed first before their own people?

Kiasu
FOMO 2.0, which is about unhealthy or selfish fear and insufficiency. A Hokkien word for the oft-irrational fear of not getting enough or of losing out to others.
Members of the public in Singapore had to wait until February to get hold of the 2021 primary one math textbooks and workbooks, which is based on the new MOE syllabus, because a number of kiasu tuition center owners had called the bookstores in December to reserve dozens of these new titles, leaving zero copies for those who couldn’t buy them from school bookshops.
