ASAP

Short for “Always Stop And Pray”—when you need to be as smart or sharp as possible in tackling urgent and important matters, by relying on the Holy Spirit (the Third Person in the Trinity) for wisdom and direction for your solution.
The moment I realize that ASAP needn’t always stand for “As Soon As Possible,” I quickly submitted this long-overdue definition for publication.

The π = 3 Church

When believers subscribe to the uncompromising view that any numbers or fractions mentioned in, or mathematical constants derived from, the Bible must be taken literally with zero room for approximation, adulteration, or subtraction.
Founded by a group of Bible literalists-turned-theomaticians, the π = 3 Church has so far failed to appeal to pre-believers and the converted, especially those who’re allergic to school or college math, despite regularly distributing free pies and pizzas to the poor in the community.

Murder by NFTs

When someone kills or poisons their parent or grandparent or sibling who owns a collection of coveted or dear Non-Fungible Tokens in the hope of acquiring it.
The judge needed more time to sentence the criminal, because the murder by NFTs case was a first of its kind among a number of trials involving cryptocurrencies.

Pitradamus

Short for “Pi Nostradamus.” Someone who not only coins π-related terms and popularizes oft-preposterous π concepts, but also predicts π breakthroughs—or makes bold claims on π hypotheses that could be proved or disproved in a-not-too-distant future.
It’s estimated that there are a dozen-odd pitradamuses or “pi futurists” who are unofficially affiliated with higher institutions of learning worldwide—they work as ghost researchers or ghostwriters for tenured math profs.

Naked Pi

Exposing the mysteries, magic, and myths about the number π to an oft-innumerate or semi-mathophobic lay public, who secretly desire to gain an understanding or appreciation of the beauty, ubiquity, and utility of mathematics’ most famous constant.
Prof. Ian recently revised and updated “Naked Pi,” which is presently available for sale only on the dark web, because part of the book’s mature or woke content might not go well with a conservative or puritan audience.

π factor

The X factor that would make math geeks or symbol-minded folks stand out in a crowd—when they are seen as an odd in a sea of evens.
Most math educators worldwide dread their oft-underpaid or overworked or unfulfilled day job, because few of them have learned to recognize or leverage on their π factor to become a candidate of choice among the unicorns or decacorns.

Golden Pi

When a picture frame that depicts the number π or pi-related items has its length to its width in the ratio (1 + √5)/2 : 1.
The postmodern artist of “Golden Pi” decided to affix a smaller painting underneath it as an explanatory note to the larger one.
