Numerical Vanity

When superstitious (or arguably vain) people would dearly bid for items like car plates, phone numbers, and house units that display “auspicious” or “lucky” numbers, or a string of “patternful” digits.
Guesstimate how many million bucks the digital or numerical vanity business is worth every year in Asia and the Middle East.

Timeshitting

Timesheeting at a public toilet. When a public toilet cleaner ticks off their daily assigned tasks at regular intervals, while reporting any defect or breakdown, on a washroom inspection card.
The poor sanitary conditions at most public toilets worldwide shows that most janitors pay lip service to timeshitting, who are often pissed off by the inconsiderate behaviors of some members of the public, such as squatting with their dirty shoes on the toilet bowl, failing to flush the toilet after use, and stealing toilet rolls.

Coffining

Punishing someone who refuses to wear a mask by making them lie in an open coffin, or forcing them to dig graves for Covid-19 victims, if they refuse to pay a fine or to do community service, such as cleaning public toilets and acting as a scarecrow under the hot sun for hours.
Some couples, who aren’t scared of coffining, are deliberately not wearing a face mask, so that they’d have the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to get intimate inside a fake coffin.

Goblin Math

A term that gained currency during the pandemic, especially after repeated lockdowns and potential mental breakdowns, to describe the type of negative, irrational, selfish, or self-defeating behavior that plagued many math educators worldwide, because they were tired of conforming to the social or unreasonable expectations of the authorities, or had little respect for vampires or hypocrites with a say in their pay.
Be it adhering to lockdown rules, working from home, or attending to parents’ complaints, demands, and threats, math teachers and tutors had descended into a goblin math state, when they’re waiting to be fired if they didn’t call it quit themselves.

Cryptomath

When creatives help generate revenue from the sales of math NFTs for nonprofits to fight world hunger, poverty, and innumeracy around the world.
Ian wants his success in cryptomath to inspire more artists and educators to creatively use math to help raise the mathematical proficiency or quantitative literacy of their fellow citizens.

Wootube

The videos of live lessons by Australian superstar high school math teacher, Eddie Woo, who has successfully put the magic in math, and his YouTube channel that woos educators with classroom teaching ideas and interviews about mathematics.
Considering his difficult formative years when he’s frequently bullied and discriminated in the predominantly white school milieu he’s in, and taking into account that math wasn’t his favorite school subject, Wootube is nothing short of a miracle—a living proof that God took notice when others meant to harm Eddie, and today He’s rewarding him with a double portion of His blessing.

Masked by Pi

When a formula looks more complex than it is because it contains the constant π, whose sight or sound often frightens those who suffer from math anxiety.
Guesstimate how many mature students worldwide are reluctant to sign up for short math or statistics courses to upgrade themselves, because they are masked by pi.
