What are mathmos?

The term mathmo came into being during the last century. It signifies a certain kind of living entity which can most easily be met in its refuges at universities and libraries. As they are known to be extremely shy, it is recommended to bring with you some tea or coffee and something to eat, if you want to call attention. Mathmos got their name by art students in Cambridge who had observed some students to have significant properties such as being smelly, shy and horrendously brainy, going along with mathematical ability. Therefore mathmo is misused as a four letter word up to today, which is obviously wrong.
