Yahoo Lifestyle "Black Math" — You Know, Like "Girl Math" — Is Trending, And The Examples That People Are Sharing Are Hilarious
At this point, I'm sure you've heard all about "girl math."
If not, it's a term used to describe a kind of logic some women use to justify their spending.
An example is, like, if I spent $100 yesterday at Trader Joe's, but I got a $75 refund from Zara, I basically only spent $25. 🤷♀️
After "girl math" went viral, people started talking about boy math and then Black math to joke about other things that make sense to them but maybe not many others. Here are some of the funniest examples that people have shared so far.
Black math is losing the house key and your momma somehow equating that to someone being able to just walk into her house.
