An unofficial mantra that morally bankrupt or ethically challenged Trumpublicans and QAnonists should have taken heed of, but were too conceited and dumb to realize that those invisible deadly viruses and their variants were smarter than them.
That “Covid is not stupid” has yet to sink in among Trump’s patriots and diehard supporters is no surprise considering the relatively high rate of infection and of mortality in most red states—a positive correlation between stupidity and mortality is hard to discount.

Get the Covid Is Not Stupidmug. An instrument of oppression or persecution in the eyes of anti-maskers, anti-vaxxers, and religious folks, who believe that they won’t be infected because they are divinely protected from any coronaviruses and their variants.
With loved ones and friends succumbing to the delta variant, more and more Trumpublicans and conspiracists in a number of red states are coming to terms that both the mask and the vaccine could protect them from infection and premature death—talks about 666-vaccination or mask oppression have suddenly evaporated.

Get the Maskmug. The slogan the Opposition in Singapore fearfully want to use so that citizens and residents can criticize the authorities, or could stage public protests, without the risk of being arrested or sued.
The “fear factor” among Singaporeans to speak up and to speak out has numbed them and made them politically indifferent—with lawsuits against political critics on the rise in recent years, the Opposition’s promise to make Singapore free again is just a dream for now.

Get the Make Singapore Free Againmug. When someone describes the math taught in Singapore schools as being too difficult to understand, or complains that young students are unhealthily exposed to an obscene number of brain-unfriendly math questions—“cheem” means “deep” in the Chinese dialect Hokkien.
Ahmad who could hardly understand Mr. Goon’s lessons told his parents: “Singapore math, so cheem. I gave up!”

Get the Singapore Math, So Cheemmug. When math educators want to push themselves to the limit, by being the best in their category or field, where they are willing to take enormous risks and bear the pain to be rewarded.
Recipients of the Fields medal—the mathematical equivalent of the “Nobel Prize In Mathematics”—have a penchant for mathematical masochism in order to stand out from the crowd, because these “extreme mathematicians” know that “no pain, no gain.”

Get the Mathematical Masochismmug. A politically correct word that means that white privilege ought to take a back seat, although it is unlikely to happen as long as white racists and supremacists are allowed to roam the White House, the judiciary, the police, or the stock exchange.
Lots of white CEOs, governors, and mayors talk powerfully about diversity, but their walks seldom follow their talks.

Get the Diversitymug. The world’s most noteworthy dictator who is forever surrounded by a cadre of serious-looking note-takers whenever he goes around the country, who wants to appear like the most caring leader ready to give a listening ear to his starving-looking or undernourished people.
Imagine Earth being a politically apathetic planet sans rogue leaders like Kim Jong-un, Donald J. Trump, and Vladimir Putin.
