Corona Pride and Prejudice

When some corrupt countries boast about their homegrown oft-half-baked coronavirus vaccines, which even the locals are reluctant or refuse to take, because they were approved while they were still being trialed among a questionable number of human guinea pigs.
Even as China, India, and Russia are keen to offer their vaccines free of charge, or sell them at a lower price, to a number of developing countries, millions of their citizens whose leaders bragged about their “cheap-and-cheat” vaccines are guilty of corona pride and prejudice.

Dealighted

Overjoyed at the mind-blowing or wallet-friendly deals and promotions that are on offer at supermarkets or shopping malls.
Mrs. Jones has ever been so dealighted before that she’s so far sent no fewer than 500 SMSes to relatives and friends informing them about the sexy offers.

Trumpvirus’s Infectivity

The rate at which Donald J. Trump’s conspiracies and lies about fraudulent ballots brainwashes his oft-gullible hardcore supporters to donate to the post-election fund to "protect the results and keep fighting even after Election Day.”
Trumpvirus’s infectivity incited both Trumpists and QAnonists to contribute tens of millions of dollars, which could be used to settle part of the president’s bigly debt and to finance his own political rallies, especially if he’s running again in 2024 (assuming that he’s not behind bars by then).

Bat

A term used by oft-racist Asians to label a black person who is notorious to curry favor with the bosses, to backstab others, or to play office politics to get ahead of their peers.
Just as some racists angrily call contemptible or dishonest members of the black community snakes and ghosts, others call them bats and skunks.

When polarized people continue to fight even after election or referendum results have come in.

Made-in-Singapore Math

When exam-smart students have near-zero choice but to regurgitate the model solutions promoted by their teachers or tutors, because there is hardly any time for them to think through most brain-unfriendly questions if they want to score a decent grade, much less question the questions.
With so many topics to cover and so little time to master the concepts, teachers and parents have come to terms that the only way for students to minimize failure and to maximize success is to reluctantly embrace made-in-Singapore math.

Covid-👻

When diehard party-goers who superstitiously believe that the coronavirus is scared of ghosts are required by the authorities to wear a “frightening” mask to remind onlookers that the virus won’t take a break just because it is Halloween.
Unlike Muslim-majority countries that ban Halloween because it is against Islamic teachings, a number of Western nations are allowing the “infidel“ festival to proceed provided the organizers strictly enforce Covid-👻 rules.
