Creative Accounting

A quick way of getting promoted if you are an employee, or a relatively safe way of retiring prematurely if you are the employer, as long as you don’t get caught.

Unlike the negative image associated with creative accounting, other creative activities like creative writing and creative thinking are looked upon positively.

Brexit Math

Also known as “Boris Math.” When hardcore math educators, most of whom are white supremacists or racists, object to using wallet-friendly, better-quality foreign math textbooks under the guise of protecting local authors and publishers, or are opposed to recruiting foreign math teachers and lecturers to teach in local schools and universities, because their presence unprovenly threatens the livelihoods of locals, who would find it hard to compete with cheaper foreign talents.

PM Johnson and his diehard supporters would fight hard to maintain Brexit math for nationalistic reasons, because any compromise to let in alien mathematical talent would be perceived as going against their Brexiteer principles—math and math education must be local, and not adulterated by foreign elements.

Covid Trump

The name a Trump “patriot” had given his baby to remind him that his illegitimate son was born on the day he nearly lost his life, when he took part in the January 6 insurrection to unsuccessfully help the ex-president be re-elected undemocratically.

Diehard Trumpists or alt-right white supremacists would show unwavering loyalty to their Insurrectionist-in-Chief, and christening their newborn “Covid Trump” is one such faithful act of allegiance to the “anointed” one.

Math as a Verb

When math learning goes beyond learning facts, figures, and applications; instead, math is humanized so that it is allowed to convey beauty, values, truth, justice, play, and love—when mathematical thinking is viewed as a way of life.

Teachers should present math as a verb, not as a noun—when students should be encouraged to be active players, not mere spectators.

January 6 Xtians

Also known as the “Xtian Taliban.” Armed “Christians,” most of them being white racists and supremacists hiding under the umbrella of Christian nationalism, who wouldn’t hesitate to use violence or even murder to ensure that their pro-Christian un-Christian ex-president—who lost the 2020 US election to a white pro-abortion and pro-LGBTQ+ “socialist” presidential candidate—continued to be their “anointed” political savior.

Guesstimate how many ultra-MAGA “patriots,” blue-collar “evangelicals,” and January 6 Xtians would be convicted and sentenced to a jail sentence for answering the call of their Pharisee-in-Chief to storm the Capitol so that he’d illegally serve a second-term in office.

Psalm 2

The second book of Psalms warns both nations and rulers of two choices: defy God and perish, or depend on Him and prosper—those who are against Christ, God’s Anointed, will be frustrated and crushed, but those who surrender to Him and serve Him can rejoice with trembling.

If only nations, groups, and individuals that are against Christ and hell-bent to harming or destroying Christians and Jews worldwide grasp the meaning of Psalm 2, they’d know that their words and curses and actions would only lead them to more physical or financial pain and suffering, spiritual confusion, and eternal condemnation—those who defy God and His Kingdom in Jesus Christ would be broken, but those who surrender to Him would be blessed.

No Jab, No Job

The unspoken slogan by employers to legally add a clause in their new hires’ contracts to have them vaccinated before they start work, and to expect existing staff to be inoculated if they want to keep their job.

Guesstimate how many people worldwide would challenge or sue their employers for implementing the "No Jab, No Job” policy, who argue that it is discriminatory to force any staff to be immunized.
