The Hotdog Formula

When you design your customer’s experience in such a way that it ends up on a high note—think of IKEA customers looking forward for their favorite hotdog after they have frustratingly lined up to the check-out counters.
To get the customers to return, apply the hotdog formula to your business: offer them something positive, which would make them forget about any inconveniences they’ve experienced—put them in a positive frame of mind at the end of their shopping trip.

Trumpillion

A term that denotes a huge number that is much less than its actual value, because someone wants to sound wealthier than he is, and to gain more respect from others.
Donald claimed to be a billion-dollar man, but most business folks think that he’s merely a trumpillion-dollar fellow, whose name can’t even be spotted on the first twenty pages of the Forbes’ billionaires list.

Durianian

Someone who just loves eating the durian in spite of its pungent smell, which tastes like heaven to them—the only tropical fruit that is banned on Singapore’s public transport system.
Singapore secretly wants more of its citizens to be durianians, so that in the event of any of its unfriendly neighbors trying to pollute its limited air space with the fruit’s pungent smell, it’d minimize any potential “death by durian.”

Mathematical Virginity

You lose it when you experience your first Aha! moment—when you feel like parading yourself naked after being struck by an insight, or upon solving a difficult math problem.
Billy lost his mathematical virginity after he found an intuitive proof to the Pythagorean theorem.

Faith

The divine password or spiritual key that allows you to gain access to God’s grace (unmerited favor)—because of Jesus’ perfect work on the cross, you are made righteous by His blood, which qualifies you to be a recipient of His blessing, favor, and love.
It’s not faith in any gods and goddesses, or in any prophets, but faith in Christ, the anointed Son of the living God—the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.

Corona Convert

A hardcore Trumpist or QAnonist who had previously put their faith in the Pharisee-in-Chief for preaching that the pandemic is a hoax, and had refused to wear a face mask, but had since confessed the virus’s existence after contracting it, or being hospitalized.
Guesstimate how many corona converts failed to cheat death after realizing that they’d been conned by their Commander in Cheat.

The Dodo Is Alive!

When some Trumpists-turned-QAnonists still stranded on the volcanic island of Mauritius—who needed to concoct a half-believe story to gain public attention so that they could fly back home—told the locals that they spotted a big bird that resembled the flightless dodo in the middle of the night, when the country was still on lockdown, thus raising the infinitesimal hope that the Mauritian bird, thought extinct, is far from dead.
That “the dodo is alive!” sounds like a modern version of the biblical story of Jesus’ raising Lazarus, who had already been in the tomb for four days, from the dead—even if the big bird is long dead, who says that it can’t miraculously be resurrected?
