Have you heard of "girl math"? It's a funny social media trend from the summer where women shared tortured arithmetic they might use to justify excessive spending. For instance, "If you return an item for $50 and then spend $100 on another item, it's like only spending $50."

Now comes "boy math." The trend began last month, according to Bitcoin or something, Greta and I would be like, ‘You’re being such Kens'"—adding she felt the same way when the guys discussed golf.
