Bar Modeling Made Ridiculously Simple

When a math educator is hell-bent to depicting an idiot-proof version of Singapore’s bar model method as a non-algebraic solution to a word problem to impress upon teachers and writers that most of their clumsily or amateurishly constructed bar models often confuse rather than enlighten their green audiences.
Singapore math writers ought to mindfully and elegantly incorporate bar modeling in their solutions to brain-unfriendly math questions if they are dead serious in marketing the intuitive problem-solving visualization strategy to skeptical math teachers overseas—they need to creatively evangelize the “bar modeling made ridiculously simple” gospel far and wide to win over new converts.

Ridiculocity

The potential speed at which a situation becomes ridiculous or utterly non-sensical.
John: Hey look, he's about to do that dare...
Greg: What was he dared to do?
John: He's gonna pull out his sack while he stands on top of the bar.
Greg: The ridiculocity of that situation comes up as 2.1 seconds!!!

(Why 2.1 seconds only? Some people would expect it to be significantly faster, but you have to also increase brain lag when taking into account just how ridiculous something is. If something is just so inconcievably ridiculous, you must understand that some people will not be able to register the information right away.)

business ridiculous

Business ridiculous is when a co-worker takes business casual to the next level. Some are lucky enough to be comfortable at work...but when we can see your nuts from your biker shorts...you've gone too far.
Have you seen Gino's shorts today...its soooo business ridiculous.

Ridiculopathy

The state or chronic condition of being pathologically ridiculous. If you leave a wake of people rolling their eyes, shaking their heads and avoiding you, you may suffer from ridiculopathy. Such people have limited, if any, insight into how their perpetual ridiculousness affects others. They leave you agape in disbelief with their comments and actions. Their learning curve is a flat line that leads to an abyss of cluelessness. Their capacity to infurirate is limitless. The worst, and most dangerous, of this species (as they do seem like another species) find their own ridiculousness amusing and gratifying.
Larry David is a character frought with ridiculopathy.
