Fasters's definitions
The title of a completed manuscript that is dividing both literary agents and editors, because they have yet to find any common ground whether or not publishing such an apparently condescending or insulting book would be suitable for public consumption.
“Dummies for Dummies” seems to fall under the Humor section, or it may not, because it’s up to everyone’s imagination who’s the target audience for this title: MAGA cult patriots, white Taliban terrorists, or Antifa thugs, or all three?

Get the Pi Cemeterymug. A synesthetic question that would best be posed to idiot savants, whose varying answers would probably be based on their degree of autism, or to some math nerds suffering from schizophrenia.

Get the What’s the Temperature of Pi?mug. Short for “Spy Pi.” The coded term for a math secret agent—who usually works as a journal or college textbook math editor, reviewer, or consultant—who would leak out information about submitted journal articles or contracted unedited manuscripts on the number π to some tenured faculty members (or to those seeking a permanent position in academia) in exchange for cash or favors.
Although the pool of 007 π operatives worldwide is unknown, however, their number is likely to be much higher than expected, as they’re sought after by faculty members who’d resort to unethical means and ways to secure tenure.

Get the 007 πmug. The use of variables, equations, or inequalities to poke fun at the adulterous adventures of financially corrupt ex-presidents or ex-prime ministers, and of morally bankrupt priests or Pharisees, who continually deny having an affair with paid porn stars or Playboy models in spite of indisputable proof of hush money being involved to cover up their cheating habits.
A quick-and-dirty naked algebra question, which was censored by Floridian “woke math” educators, is the following: “Two b’s for $x + $130K + $y fine (and $z for possible bribery in exchange for a shorter stay behind bars). Guesstimate x, y, and z.”

Get the Pirrotmug. A misspelled or corrupt version of Pythagoras, the Greek vegan mathematician-turned-numerologist, who wouldn’t hesitate to expel, ostracize, or even murder his yes-students should they dare to criticize or challenge his mathematical gospel that everything could be expressed as a ratio of whole numbers.
Those against Greek culture or heritage would deliberately write “Pithagoras” whenever they needed to cite or quote the most famous theorem in mathematics.
