Math Shot

When publishers or bookstores decide to offer a big discount to vaccinated customers keen to hone their mathematical problem-solving or guesstimation skills, who show their vaccination card and the math book to the cashier—a promotion to get kids, parents, and teachers all jabbed to minimize infection or reinfection, not to say, hospitalization.
At a popular bookstore, the math shot promotion for a set of four Singapore math textbooks and workbooks is: “$39 with Shots; $144 sans Shots.”

Trump is the new Pinocchio.

When Donald J. Trump is now the world’s poster boy for lying or dishonesty, who has notoriously clinched another first as a one-term president, by unofficially dethroning Pinocchio as the Liar-in-Chief.
That “Trump is the new Pinocchio.” is numerically equivalent to “Trump = Pinocchio 2.0.”

Secret Frustration

Something that you don’t understand or doesn’t make sense why it happens to you, but you also know that God could change the situation, because He can remove that obstacle, open that closed door, or remove that temptation or addiction.
Be it a situation in your health, your finances, or a relationship, when God doesn’t seem to be intervening to turn things around, know that His grace is sufficient for every one of your secret frustrations.

Corentine

Valentine’s Day during the coronavirus crisis. When singles worldwide feel less heart-broken or lonely that Covid-19 would prevent couples from going and dining out—the coronavirus is such a great leveler even on love matters, when it spares a thought for the unattached.
This Corentine, a number of food and flower businesses might just go under, or when most unmarried couples would reluctantly have to e-dine via Zoom.

Solo Six

Enjoying the intimacy of the number six in the privacy of one's home—experiencing the joy of six without numerical interference from anyone.
Rex likes to indulge in solo six when he's not taking part in any extra-mathematical activity in school—he doesn't mind doing it without a partner, although a twosome would have been more fun and fulfilling.

Santa Corona

The nickname for Father Christmas, who would have a pretty good excuse this year to deliver zero toys to brainwashed kids who believe their parents that the coronavirus is just another seasonal flu that would go away by year end, and that wearing a face mask and practicing social distance is for the weaklings who just want to be politically correct.
For kids of thousands of QAnonists and diehard alt-right Trumpists, Santa Corona would give them a miss in 2020 as a “punishment” for putting their faith in conspiracies and falsehoods, propagated by no other by the Conspiracist-in-Chief, who would probably need to be escorted out on 1/20/21 for refusing to make way for the President-Elect.

Corrupt Zeros

Millions or billions of dollars that were channeled by businessmen or corporations to the personal bank accounts of corrupt politicians or ministers in exchange for mega projects.
Malaysia’s ex-prime minister is convicted of money laundering for accumulating extra corrupt zeros into his bank account, who claimed that the obscene amount was a generous donation from a Saudi prince as a reward for supporting Saudi Arabia in her fight against terrorism.
