Math Is a Verb. 

When you can’t be a spectator vis-à-vis the world’s most disliked school subject, but you need to be a player to master it—reading or listening about math won’t make you fluent in the subject, but doing math will.
Like Christianity, math is a verb. Just like you can’t impact lives if you merely know about Jesus and His teachings, so reading pop math books without dirtying your hands is unlikely going to raise your quantitative literacy in meeting the technological challenges of the 21st century.

to leg-scrub (verb)

To make a recommendation for a product, service or experience that creates a sudden and exponential demand (sometimes to the extent that the initial recommender is no longer able to access the product, service, or experience). Coined by a WhatsApp group in Victoria, Australia called 'Bar Mums', the term refers to a recommendation by a member of the group for a Mecca brand leg-scrub. The leg scrub was promptly sold out online and in nearby stores, canonically due to the demand created by the recommendation in the group (footnote omitted). Things that have subsequently been leg-scrubbed include babysitters, pediatricians, protein powders and migration lawyers.
Can have negative connotations regarding unavailability, but can also refer to a concerted effort by a group of people to support a business, person, or product by buying their products and recommending them. The term is in wide spread use among at least several hundred Australian lawyers.

increasingly verbose meme

A type of multi-frame image in which a lackluster or overused meme is replicated with poorer graphical fidelity but increased verbosity successive times to the point where it is difficult to understand the meme without the original context. Also called 'meme corruption' or 'progressively verbose meme'.
Captions of an increasingly verbose meme:

Frame 1: It's high noon

Frame 2: The time is 12pm.

Frame 3: The grandfather clock currently displays a reading of twelve o'clock post meridian.

Frame 4: It has become increasingly apparent to me that due to the rotation of Earth relative to the Sun, the current "time" as defined by Ancient Egyptians via the decan system is denoted by the numerical value "twelve" of the clock, signalling that the Sun is at the highest point in the sky.
