What I call homo-sapiens who are addicted to abscesses?
Person 1: Are you addicted to abscesses?

Mathematics

A word to make you sound smarter, much more smarter than all of the lesser people who say math.
Friend: Hey, do you have math class?
Me: You mean mathematics?
Friend: It's the same thing.
Me: No it's not.

Growth Mindset in Mathematics

The idea that math educators should focus on effort rather than on results—that failure is part of the success equation, because a set of false starts, failures, and frustrations are often necessary or unavoidable before someone could experience some degree of mathematical progress or achievement.
To fail is no shame, but failure to try again often is. A growth mindset in mathematics is to try or fail again, while failing better or faster each time.

Onto Mathematics

School of thought which addresses the "something-from-nothing" conundrum.

Based on the corollary of Tarskian area.

Ontological mathematics.
Onto mathematics explains that something appears from nothing because the area of same-discrete lines is two TIMES the area of the volume which encompasses them.

In other words: lines have area.

manlet mathematics

The completely and utterly delusional, laughably pathetic and farcical method of calculation by which the petite and effeminate runt of a sissy manlet boy unconscionably inflates his shamefully diminutive and dwarfish short stature.
Microscopic turbo-manlet: I'm 5ft4 - let's round that up to 5ft5. If I stand on my tippy toes, then I'm 5ft6. Plus, when I wear my favorite pair of high heels, I'm 5ft8. So that's basically 5ft10. If I now translate that into guy height, then I'm 6ft tall - finally a big boy (starts crying). Towering manmore: Just lol at you and your manlet mathematics. That's nothing more than spurious and elflike mental gymnastics. Manlets, when will they learn?

Mathematical Nap

When the aftermath of overworking with too much x's and y's make someone zzz when they doze or nod off.
Prof. Ziz’s mild snore got some mean colleagues take a shot of him having a mathematical nap, which was suspected to be filled with ƶ, ƶ², …, √ƶ, ℤ.

Mathematical Do-ness

Forcing or motivating yourself to DO-ing some math to beat your daily laziness, especially if you are glued or addicted to your cell phone or digital device for an unhealthy number of hours every day.
Some mathematical do-ness activities that could help white-collar workers break away from their sedentary lifestyle are:

Walk exactly 6789 steps.

Create an origami geometric shape out of the newspaper.

Learn to do calculus—differentiate and integrate—with a soroban (Japanese abacus).

Count the number of ballpoint pens in your house.
