It's a French thing. Don't get flaky on me.

So I occasionally seen math problems, puzzles, and riddles posted on social media (particularly Twitter), outside of the confines of the Math Calendar that I respond to. There was a recent problem posted to which someone replied, "That's a strictly crescent function!". To which I replied (in my head, not online), "That's a strictly what-now?"

Okay, so it's something beyond the scope of what I'll teach in Algebra or Algebra 2. On the other hand, it's not beyond the scope of a bad math pun. So voila! And bon appetit.
