Reference excerpt

Pede (shortened of Centipede) is a slang term used by Trump supporters online as an in-group identifier among supporters, similar in social role to political solidarity terms as 'comrade'. The term originated and was popularized from /pol/ on 4chan and r/The_Donald on Reddit during the 2016 Presidential election.

Background r/The_Donald was a subreddit created in 2015 to support Donald Trump's 2016 Presidential campaign. On October 13, 2015 Trump re-posted a video titled 'You can't stump The Trump', that consisted of highlights during The Republican debate with the song 'Centipede', a song by Australian electronic group 'Knife Party' playing. The term 'Pede' was derived from the title of the song, and it quickly spread

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Pedes (r/The Donald)

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Pedes (r/The Donald) claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In science, the smallest case is usually a single object, a single equation or a single measurement. Check that every symbol or term in your sentence has a meaning in that case.

Example 2 — changing one variable

Take the situation from Example 1 and change exactly one quantity: double it, halve it, or set it to zero. Predict what should happen to Pedes (r/The Donald) before you calculate. Comparing your prediction with the result is the fastest way to find out whether you understand the idea or only the words.

Example 3 — an exam-style question

Typical questions about Pedes (r/The Donald) ask you to (a) state it precisely, (b) apply it to given data, and (c) explain a limitation. Practise writing all three answers in under five minutes; the third part is what separates a full-mark answer from an average one.

Applications of Pedes (r/The Donald)

In research: Pedes (r/The Donald) appears in science research whenever the underlying quantities have to be modelled precisely. Papers usually cite it as a starting assumption and then explore where it breaks down.
In technology and industry: Engineering practice reuses Pedes (r/The Donald) in design rules, simulations and safety margins. Knowing the idea lets you read a specification sheet and understand why the numbers look the way they do.
In the classroom: Pedes (r/The Donald) is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics 2010s slang, 2015 neologisms, 4chan, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for Pedes (r/The Donald) outside the textbook — in sport, cooking, traffic, electronics or the sky above you. An example you found yourself is remembered far longer than one you were given.
