Flood, Fire, or Famine

When everybody goes through a hard time every now and then, but this is necessary not only to build up their character and faith, but each trial propels them to a greater height and a higher plane.

You may go through a flood, fire, or famine, but if you know who God is in your life, the pain and frustration are often a mere set-up for something greater that you are about to experience in your life.

Emoji Math

The use of emojis instead of letters or symbols in questions, equations, or expressions as an attempt to lure those who are not so symbol-minded to math.

An example of emoji math is to calculate the value of each item from the following pair of equations:
2 🍩 + ☕️ = $3.90
3 🍩 + 2 ☕️ = $6.60

Answer: 🍩 = $1.20, ☕️ = $1.50.

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.

Take a Knee

To disrespectfully kneel instead of standing up during the National Anthem to protest against politicians you don’t like, because of their discriminatory practices, racist views, or offensive comments.

Imagine if every time an employee or football player doesn’t like something about their CEO or president, they take a knee—aren’t there better ways to justifiably convey their anger or frustration?

Naughtical

Saying no to almost anything, or giving zero answers to most questions—when someone is afraid of giving his views on most issues lest he might be taken advantage of by others.

Ali is such a naughtical person that no one wants to include him in their team—he's a complete liability rather than a commendable asset to the company.
