Armchair Math

When authors of pop math books or e-books try to give their readers a make-believe mathematical experience, by keeping formulas and equations to a minimum, because for the publisher, every additional equation in the book has the potential of halving the sales figures.

Milk Math

When a person combines milk of one percentage with milk of another in order to create milk with a lower fat content.
"Dude, I hate the way 1% milk tastes but I'm watching my weight. So I did some milk math and mixed 1% and 2% to get 1 1/2%. It's not as good as 2% milk, but it's better than 1%."
