Metmom -- 'tuple' probably has no usage in regular English. Nor does 'Riemannian manifold'. Nonetheless, they are both well-known and useful terms, with nice formal definitions, in the world of mathematics.

A 'tuple' in regular English is a set of numbers (typically but not by any means always integer numbers) that either share a common property or the set itself is a solution set, partial or complete, of some polynomial.

'Abundancy' is -- well, you don't want to get into what abundancy is, actually.

The intent of my rather pointed commentary was that the Commie Corpse ludicrous concept of 'friendly number' is as academically verkakht as would be the gratuitous redefinition in physics of 'gravity' to be 'the frequency of apples landing on Newton's head.'

And I'm not certain at all that the grotesque stupidity indicated by that last definition is sufficienly indicative of the abysmal lack of knowledge, coherence and intellectual competence as demonstrated by the Commie Corpse Crapheads.

The world of mathematics is one thing.

Talking like that to 4th graders is a whole ‘nother story.
