Mathematical Graffiti

An artist’s lawbreaking pastime, whereby they irreverently paint math-related drawings, formulas, or symbols in forbidden areas or public squares without getting caught by the authorities—the artistic equivalent of a couple illicitly indulging in a quickie with zero public knowledge or suspicion.

Few illegal activities give the mathematical graffiti artist more thrill when working in a pressurized environment, compared to taking part in an annual pressure-free graffiti carnival approved by the authorities.

PhD

Short for “Preaching, Healing, and Delivering.” The title that has spiritually been conferred on every believer of Jesus Christ, who has been commanded to share to pre-believers or unbelievers the Good News of the Lord’s gift of eternal life and His forgiveness of sins, and who has been empowered in the name of Jesus to free people from difficulties, diseases, and demons.

All born-again Christians are conferred a PhD to be fishers of men—to win souls for the Kingdom of God, so that they could end up on the right side of eternity after their last breath.

Coronademia

When women submitted fewer academic papers to journals across a multitude of fields than their male counterparts during the lockdown for whatever unpublished or unspoken reasons.

Editors of both math and science journals notice the coronademia syndrome in both developed and developing countries, when men submitted up to 50% more articles than women.

X

The letter nonbinary people, who see themselves as neither male nor female, want to use on identification documents like their birth certificate or passport to reflect their gender—preventing them to do so would force them to lie about their true identity.

Although a number of countries allow their citizens to use X and O (for “others”), rather than M or F, on their passport to identify themselves, however, the odds of their being denied entry by border control authorities elsewhere are never zero.

Maskhole-in-Chief

A fake medical doctor or pseudoscientific folk who argues that anyone wearing a mask in public after being vaccinated or recovered from an infection is mere theater, because there is apparently zero proof that they can spread the coronavirus or be infected, or become re-infected.

For political or public vanity, Maskhole-in-Chief Rand Paul argues that an inoculated person wearing a mask is just for show rather than serves as a protective measure against the deadlier variants of the virus.
