Make America White Again

When a racist and xenophobic political leader decries most non-white immigrants who landed in America as a bunch of AIDS carriers, lazy burgers, criminals, rapists, terrorists, or jobs stealers.

President Trump blames disloyal politicians and lawyers, who are defending millions of illegal or undocumented immigrants, because they threaten the lives of hardworking Americans—he wants to make America white again, by making it harder for black and colored peoples to seek a better life in the United States.

Awardising

When Singapore parents proudly (or boastfully) display their child’s “academic achievement” or “leadership or volunteering award” on Facebook to tell the world how “exam-smart,” “inspiring,” or “caring” he or she is—or maybe to boost their own fragile egos.

Besides showcasing on social media the exotic food they’ve partaken of, or the branded goods they’ve purchased, during their overseas trips, few vain Singaporeans would miss awardising their children’s school achievements, desiring to get dozens of likes from friends and fans.

Horrorscope 2018

1. Dictator Kim of North Korea will join his father and grandfather in hell.

2. President Trump won't get his Dread Wall of Mexico built.

3. President Putin will leave office rejected, ejected, and dejected.

Horrorscope 2018 for both dictators and murderers sounds good news for the world, with the defeat of ISIS and the death of some African dictators.

Naughtical

Saying no to almost anything, or giving zero answers to most questions—when someone is afraid of giving his views on most issues lest he might be taken advantage of by others.

Ali is such a naughtical person that no one wants to include him in their team—he's a complete liability rather than a commendable asset to the company.

Take a Knee

To disrespectfully kneel instead of standing up during the National Anthem to protest against politicians you don’t like, because of their discriminatory practices, racist views, or offensive comments.

Imagine if every time an employee or football player doesn’t like something about their CEO or president, they take a knee—aren’t there better ways to justifiably convey their anger or frustration?

Mathematical Virginity

You lose it when you experience your first Aha! moment—when you feel like parading yourself naked after being struck by an insight, or upon solving a difficult math problem.

Billy lost his mathematical virginity after he found an intuitive proof to the Pythagorean theorem.

Emoji Math

The use of emojis instead of letters or symbols in questions, equations, or expressions as an attempt to lure those who are not so symbol-minded to math.

An example of emoji math is to calculate the value of each item from the following pair of equations:
2 🍩 + ☕️ = $3.90
3 🍩 + 2 ☕️ = $6.60

Answer: 🍩 = $1.20, ☕️ = $1.50.
