Piriosity 

When someone is radically curious about the number π, hoping to experience some aha’s once in a while, when she reveals some juicy little theorems or lemmas about her.
The potential extinction of piriosity among math educators in MAGA states is an emergency, which is compounded by politicians’ own agenda to ban “woke math”
curriculums aimed at pacifying voters who want a watered-down version of Common Core Math or Singapore Math.

total priority 

A measurement used to distinguish between items of work that are all deemed by the customer to be the highest priority.

When everything is priority 1, you can calculate the total priority by asking what order those tasks should be done in. The total priority is a representation of this order, for instance 1a, 1b, 1c.

If you find you end up with multiple items with the same total priority, simple repeat the process and append another letter e.g. 1aa, 1ab, 1ac until they get the message.
"Taking into consideration the total priority of those 20 high priority tasks, I think I'll be able to do 3 of them by next week"

Word of the Day on October 28, 2026
A lighthearted reaction upon receiving disappointing news of some sort. Usually something that isn't a particularly a big deal, esp. when it primarily affects someone else - sort of a mild schadenfreude. Sometimes doubled or tripled, and possibly said in a sing-songy voice for added comedic effect to imitate a muted trumpet, which is how the meme originated.

Surf Dracula Syndrome 

A phenomenon in film/television series, most notably streaming series, where the main premise is drawn out to such a point that it takes an entire season or more to get the parts of the series the audience is actually interested in seeing.

For example, if a series is titled "Surf Dracula," a majority of viewers would tune in expecting to see Dracula surfing by the first or second episode. However, the entire first season would instead be tedious padding and backstory before finally ending with Dracula surfing in the last five minutes of the season finale.
I watched "Smallville" on Netflix the other day. Dude, it was ten seasons of filler before he finally flew! Major Surf Dracula Syndrome!
