What is mathematically playful?
When a math educator desires to be creative, purposeful, and challenged in teaching or sharing math to the best of their abilities—for example, submitting some math tidbit or irreverent math entry to Urban Dictionary to humanize the most disliked subject in school.
Being mathematically playful might win you a number of fans and friends, but it often triggers an unhealthy climate of envy and jealousy among your fiends and foes, who will serially and wickedly downvote any published math entries at the slightest opportunity, thus immaturely exposing their deep hatred and irrational fear.
