mathematical nominalism

A theory which states that the infinite planes inside of a circle (transfinite space) are orthogonal to the uncountable perimeters of the self-same circle.

Furthermore that the diameter of the universe is 10^14 Planck lengths.
Mathematical nominalism is a corollary of perimeter theory; which states that one perimeter of the circle contains uncountable perimeters.

Mathematical nominalism asserts that infinity and uncountability are separated by 10^14 Planck lengths--a distance equivalent to the entire diameter of the universe.

Mathematical Remains

Math stuff we commented about, downloaded, posted, sold, or even stole online that linger in cyberspace long after our last heartbeat—the e-books, tweets, blog posts, articles, jokes, memes, NFTs, and the like.
How much mathematical remains or remnants would you have left behind after you’d journeyed to the other side of eternity?

mathematical plateau

It's the state of zen you reach as a mathematician / math enthusiast where formerly you 100% loved math, and now you currently hate it. This gives you a greater view of the mathematical landscape, because you're no longer over-studying, so the brain has ample time to recharge, and you learn quicker!
I've reached the mathematical plateau, fellow mathematicians. The view from here is nice.

Mathematical Fraud

One who has achieved far beyond what his average or below-average mathematical intelligence could allow him to do, by lying, bullshitting, scheming, pretending, or backstabbing—the mathematical equivalent of a racist-rapist-turned-fraud-felon who got elected, rejected, and reelected despite all the odds against him.
Guesstimate how many mathematical frauds make it bigly in the publishing industry worldwide every year.

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 Slowies

Non-trick or non-tricky math questions that you can do at your snail’s pace without worry or fear of having to sit for any killer test or exam—they are recommended for self-confessed folks who pride themselves of being “hopeless at math,” or not being born with the “math gene.”
Mathematical slowies are the opposite of “mathematical quickies,” which are generally solved with some insight, and often accompanied by an occasional aha! reaction.

Mathematical Toughies

A term for brain-unfriendly or challenging math questions that generally evoke panic and fear, which may also be accompanied by recurring nightmares, among math-anxious or mathophobic students, parents, and teachers—the opposite of “mathematical slowies.”
For most educated folks, who lack the intelligence or training to solving math contests and olympiad questions, these mathematical toughies are off-putting or repugnant to them.
