Short for Singapore Math. A mélange of the best math curriculums from the East and the West, which has arguably led Singapore students to repeatedly rank top in international comparative studies like PISA and TIMSS.
In emoji, 🇸🇬 🔢 = (🇺🇸 + 🇬🇧 + 🇨🇳 + 🇰🇷 + 🇷🇺 + 🇮🇱) × 🔢—the six main mathematical ingredients Singapore apparently used to bake its own cake, which is now popular among tens of thousands of math educators and homeschoolers worldwide.

Get the 🇸🇬 🔢mug. One who has never experienced the joy (or pain) of rigorous proofs in high-school Euclidean geometry or college calculus.
Angel couldn't understand why mathematicians make such a big fuss about rigorously proving mathematical results that are intuitively obvious to her—one should forgive her for her immaturity as she's still a mathematical virgin.

Get the Mathematical Virginmug. A commandment with regard to our relationship to God, compared to our relationship to people, where it is better to give than to receive—when Jesus, the "bread of life" and the “living water,” wants us to partake of Him and receive from Him all that we lack in this world.
Jesus told his disciples that it is more blessed to give than to receive in relating to others, and when it comes to meeting their physical and spiritual needs, He wants them to know that as their Provider, Deliverer, and Healer, it is better to receive than to give.

Get the Mathematical Virginitymug. When some Trumpists-turned-QAnonists still stranded on the volcanic island of Mauritius—who needed to concoct a half-believe story to gain public attention so that they could fly back home—told the locals that they spotted a big bird that resembled the flightless dodo in the middle of the night, when the country was still on lockdown, thus raising the infinitesimal hope that the Mauritian bird, thought extinct, is far from dead.
That “the dodo is alive!” sounds like a modern version of the biblical story of Jesus’ raising Lazarus, who had already been in the tomb for four days, from the dead—even if the big bird is long dead, who says that it can’t miraculously be resurrected?

Get the The Dodo Is Alive!mug. The divine password or spiritual key that allows you to gain access to God’s grace (unmerited favor)—because of Jesus’ perfect work on the cross, you are made righteous by His blood, which qualifies you to be a recipient of His blessing, favor, and love.
It’s not faith in any gods and goddesses, or in any prophets, but faith in Christ, the anointed Son of the living God—the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.

Get the Faithmug. Someone who just loves eating the durian in spite of its pungent smell, which tastes like heaven to them—the only tropical fruit that is banned on Singapore’s public transport system.
Singapore secretly wants more of its citizens to be durianians, so that in the event of any of its unfriendly neighbors trying to pollute its limited air space with the fruit’s pungent smell, it’d minimize any potential “death by durian.”
