New math

The first time I heard new math was on an episode of Seinfeld. Some woman comes up to Jerry and feels his shirt. When she asks what it's made of, he responds, "half silk, half cotton, half linen..." No wonder the shirt was so 'puffy'........ haha whoops, I couldn't help myself. Sorry Jerry - no three halves in a whole. Another example of new math is when people ask for a couple of something, then get upset because you only gave them two. Errr - a couple means two. Politicians are good at new math - the Tories are promising a bunch of $500 credits for various things. The credit sounds good until you rephrase it into reality. A $500 credit translates to about $80 off your income tax bill.
