Covid Strikes in Threes
A belief among superstitious or idolatrous folks in some parts of Asia that the evil spirit of the coronavirus would linger around until it has claimed at least three victims within days in a certain locality.
Some polytechnic students couldn’t start their “morbid” project to test the paranormal hypothesis whether or not “Covid strikes in threes,” because it’s deemed “insensitive and heartless.”

One Trump is one too many.
A phrase that implies that the world doesn’t need more fake billionaires, more corrupt leaders, more serial liars, more narcissists, more racists, and more white supremacists, but rather more God-fearing and honest heads of state who give a damn about something other than benefiting themselves and their oft-shady businesses.
Although President Biden told the world that America is back on the world stage, however, US allies feel ambivalent about this new political normal, because for them, one Trump is one too many.

Pittoo
When someone conspicuously wears a π tattoo to publicly show their undeniable or unquestionable love for the irrational number.
Why Trump Cooks the Books
When the serially bankrupt Liar-in-Chief has zero choice but to continually massage the numbers to keep his oft-shady businesses afloat, because failure to do so would “make Trump bankrupt again” and in all probability land him behind bars.
For a corrupt “billionaire” who is showing sign of declaring bankruptcy a seventh time, it’s no surprise why Trump cooks the books to avoid incompetency, insolvency, infamy, and imprisonment.

A number that is arguably born with a lucky star due to its popularity or idolatry among mathematicians, who devoted an obscene number of years trying to unearth its allegedly manifold beautiful properties, much to the envy of thousands of fellow rational and irrational numbers, who see themselves as a nobody in the numerical world.
Besides a few lucky numbers like e, i, and 𝜙, which had aroused a fair bit of interest among the mathematical brethren, π remains the sexiest (or overrated) number in the whole of mathematics.
Pi Prejudice
When someone ignores or rejects anything associated with the number π because the sight or sound of it reminds them of their negative experiences of school math.
For millions of folks worldwide, lousy math teachers and boring math textbooks only hardens their pi prejudice as far as their distorted view of mathematics is concerned.
