lazy-roo

A social disease whereby customers use their cellphones to order their food, by being overdependent on food delivery rather than cooking at home, or walking a few minutes to a nearby coffeeshop, hawker center, or foodcourt.
Guesstimate how many Singaporeans suffering from lazy-roo would develop health or mobility issues every year long before they could afford to retire.

Math DJ

An educator who creates beautiful or elegant math, by mixing and matching ideas from different disciplines to vow their audience—they are neither generalist or specialist, who use creative ways to convey difficult math concepts, or are bewitched to come up with intuitive or elegant solutions to math problems.
If math teachers, editors, and writers thought like a math DJ, the public perception of math being a dull or difficult school subject would be a thing of the past.

π-Shaped Person

Someone with skills in “left brain” (math, data, analytics) and “right brain” (creative, intuitive, subconscious) disciplines—the horizontal line on the top stands for breadth of knowledge across domains, while the vertical lines represent two areas of depth knowledge.
Most math teachers are I-shaped; some are T-shaped (a generalist to a shallow level with a depth of skill in one field), and very few are π-shaped persons.

The Holey Bible

A specially designed Bible with a cross-shaped hole that runs across the front and back covers of the holy book to remind readers that Jesus died on the cross for their sins, so that whoever believes in Him will not perish but have eternal life.
No one knows how many original copies of “The Holey Bible”—a collectors’ item among both believers and unbelievers—are in circulation.

Vaccine Against B.S

A mental or psychological jab to protect unvaccinated folks, who are more prone to being brainwashed or indoctrinated by right-wing morally bankrupt politicians and ethically challenged popular TV personalities, spreading their lies and conspiracies on mask wearing and vaccination against the coronavirus pandemic.
Until there is a vaccine against B.S., the infection and mortality rates among millions of unvaccinated folks faithfully watching Fox News, who are continually being fed with misinformation about Covid-19 vaccination, are just going to rise in the face of deadlier delta and delta-plus variants.

Zero Sense

The ability to be at home with large numbers like millions, billions, trillions, and quadrillions, and not just knowing how many zeros they each have.
Being aware that a million has 6 zeros, a billion has 9 zeros, a trillion has 12 zeros, and a quadrillion has 15 zeros is only the first step; we need to try visualizing the difference between them by putting them into context—we need that zero sense to get a feel of what these numbers represent.

Corona Horrorscope

The hypothesis that people of certain astrological signs are more prone to die from, or be infected with, the coronavirus regardless whether they believe in horoscope or not.
Paranormal researchers are struggling to get the astrological make-up of those who worked for the Trump administration to divine a corona horrorscope chart for folks who believe that there is a correlation between infection (or death) and astrology.
