Don't Be A Jerk Math Pun Premium T-Shirt
More Info on this Design
About the Design
This design features the classic idiom "Don't be a" followed by the mathematical expression for the third derivative of position with respect to time (d³x/dt³). In physics, this quantity is formally known as "jerk." The design creates a clever and humorous pun combining everyday language with scientific terminology.
What the Phrase Means
The core phrase plays on the double meaning of the word "jerk." While colloquially it refers to an obnoxious person, in the field of kinematics (a branch of physics), jerk is the rate of change of acceleration. This intelligent wordplay makes for an amusing and conversation-starting statement.
