Aha!

Short for mathematical enlightenment. That breakthrough thinking moment or insight you experience after trying to solve a seemingly unsolvable math problem.
Solving mathematical quickies is an inexpensive way to activating the oft-atrophied right part of the brain, which would increase the chances of experiencing an aha!—when thinking laterally or even paradoxically often acts as a catalyst to finding the solution to an apparently wicked problem.

Fakeful

The opposite of being fact-based. When someone entertains opinions or views that are not true, and deliberately disseminates them to mislead their unquestioning or uncritical audience to push their own agenda.
Rejected Donald J. Trump was such a fakeful character who led tens of millions of his followers to blindly or uncritically put their faith in him, by lying that he’s robbed of an election victory due to rampant fraudulent ballots in states where he lost to his political opponent.

Corrupt Zeros

Millions or billions of dollars that were channeled by businessmen or corporations to the personal bank accounts of corrupt politicians or ministers in exchange for mega projects.
Malaysia’s ex-prime minister is convicted of money laundering for accumulating extra corrupt zeros into his bank account, who claimed that the obscene amount was a generous donation from a Saudi prince as a reward for supporting Saudi Arabia in her fight against terrorism.

Corentine

Valentine’s Day during the coronavirus crisis. When singles worldwide feel less heart-broken or lonely that Covid-19 would prevent couples from going and dining out—the coronavirus is such a great leveler even on love matters, when it spares a thought for the unattached.
This Corentine, a number of food and flower businesses might just go under, or when most unmarried couples would reluctantly have to e-dine via Zoom.

Santa Corona

The nickname for Father Christmas, who would have a pretty good excuse this year to deliver zero toys to brainwashed kids who believe their parents that the coronavirus is just another seasonal flu that would go away by year end, and that wearing a face mask and practicing social distance is for the weaklings who just want to be politically correct.
For kids of thousands of QAnonists and diehard alt-right Trumpists, Santa Corona would give them a miss in 2020 as a “punishment” for putting their faith in conspiracies and falsehoods, propagated by no other by the Conspiracist-in-Chief, who would probably need to be escorted out on 1/20/21 for refusing to make way for the President-Elect.

Solo Six

Enjoying the intimacy of the number six in the privacy of one's home—experiencing the joy of six without numerical interference from anyone.
Rex likes to indulge in solo six when he's not taking part in any extra-mathematical activity in school—he doesn't mind doing it without a partner, although a twosome would have been more fun and fulfilling.

Fake News

A phrase politicians use when they don’t like what the media are saying about them—headlines that expose them as liars or untrustworthy.
Probably no other world leader has uttered “fake news” more often than President Trump, who wants to demonize the free press by all means and at all costs—he denounces any article or broadcast that speaks ill of him and his administration as nothing but fake news.
