Composing a short story (factoid, haiku, joke, …), or posing a math problem, using 140 (or 280) characters or less on or about the number π.
Three examples of Twitter Pi are:
a) A haiku entitled “Pi in the Sky” goes like this:
Pi is three only.
For the Bible tells me so!
I shalt not doubt it.
b) Trump promised MAGA evangelicals in red-pilled states: “If re-elected, I’d decree π to be 3 for all true-blue patriots.”
c) A math toughie: If 1! = 1 and 2! = 2, show that (1/2)! = 1/2 √π and (–1/2)! = √π.

A dance move which involves pointing your elbows out and rotating your hands around by your chest as if imitating the movement of the bond between 2 p-orbitals as seen in chemistry.
Everyone thought he had lost the dance-off until he pulled out the Pi-bond move.
Dog Pies are dog feces piles of poop, usually in the lawn of someone who owns a dog.
"Ew dude, did your dog have Dog Pies on the ground?"
"Yes!"
When movies on math, or those that depict the odd behaviours of oft-mad mathematicians or idiot-savants, never fail to mention the number π and some of its magical properties.
With pi being part of pop culture, it’s not surprising to hear mathophobic actors in Hollywood complain about reel pi, as it reminds them of their bad experiences of school math, especially if they’d flunked the subject several times prior to making it big in the entertainment industry.

When the passengers on a plane up in the sky are separately seated based on the the digits of the decimal number π—there are three empty seats between the first and second passenger, one empty seat between the second and third passenger, four empty seats between the third and fourth passenger, and so on.
On a Boeing 777, how many passengers could take part in the “pi in the sky” experience?

Very tight, upper-thigh length shorts that were popular in the 1980's and were a staple of Tom Selleck's wardrobe in the popular television series Magnum P.I. These shorts usually clearly outline one's package and leave nothing to the imagination. Frequently worn by those with a mullet.
I was out of clean clothes so I threw on some Magnum PI's. I spent all day tucking back the meat to keep from playin turtle and scaring the locals.

n. plur. {cawh pîz} - cow fecal matter that hardens into a pie like shape in a cow pasture.
While leaning over the fence on the side of a cow pasture I fell over and landed in some nasty cow pies.
