jy bak pies, verb (Afrikaans slang)
Pronunciation: yay buck pees
Meaning:
A playful or sarcastic phrase used to call someone out for being slow, wasting time, or being incompetent. Literally translates to “you bake pies,” but it’s not about actual baking — it’s said when someone is dragging their feet, slacking off, or just not doing what they’re supposed to.
Origin:
Comes from South African Afrikaans slang. The humor comes from the random literal meaning — baking pies — being used to mock someone for being slow or useless, as if they’re off baking instead of getting things done.

Get the protien piesmug. When politicians and philosophers fail to agree whether the irrational number π subscribes to the liberal or woke ideology of the Democratic Party, or shares the conservative or puritan beliefs of the Republican Party (and maybe even the MAGA gospel of the Trumpublican cult).
Metamathematicians don’t think that π will ever conform to the biblical value of three, which is preached by some alt-right Christian nationalists, while far-left ethnomathematicians divine that π holds the secret to the workings of the universe. Is pi Democrat or Republican?
