A joke that is not told fully, ending somewhere between the beginning and the ending of the full joke. Usually just a joke but without the punch line. First recorded use was by (correct me if im wrong) Jschlatt in the "So I won the Minecraft talent show..." YouTube video.
A guy in a tiktok to the audience: Everyone tells me that I should stop listening to rap music.
Jschlatt: is this mf doing half jokes?
The guy: I wrote a book about cows...
Jschlatt: this mf is doing half jokes
The guy: Leopards, eh?
What you add after a backhanded insult so that they can't have ago at you but really you've still insulted them as you've only said your half joking. Started using it at University and haven't seen over people do it but hope it takes off.
Don't worry you may not have the looks but you can always fall back on your fashion sense.... half jokes.
Not only are you fat but your also dumb I mean you can't pass on an extra slice of a cake or your end of term exams... ahh im joking, well half jokes anyway.
The grindset is a contemporary ideology of self-exploitation disguised as strength, deeply tied to the aesthetics of the “sigma male” and to new digital forms of patriarchy. It promotes the idea that human worth depends on productivity, economic success, absolute emotional control, and the ability to work endlessly, turning vulnerability, rest, community, and tenderness into signs of weakness. Beneath its rhetoric of discipline and power often lies a profound inability to relate healthily to pain, fragility, and human interdependence.
“That’s the grindset, brother. While weak men sleep and complain, sigma males stay disciplined, work in silence, suppress emotions, and build power while everyone else wastes time chasing comfort.”
