A condition that is used to plainly and openly show to everyone that someone is, in fact, not gay. Often used in movies or TV shows where male protagonists might be considered gay if there wasn't a scene explicitly showing his heterosexuality, thereby providing him with a case of the notgays to ease viewers and let them know that they are not watching a show with a homosexual character.

First popularized by Harry Plinkett of RedLetterMedia in his review of Star Trek (2009).
Viewers might have thought Spock and Kirk are gay for each other, but since J.J. Abrams made Kirk a ladies' man and had Spock be in a weird relationship with Uhura, we all can rest easy knowing they have a case of the notgays.

Stealthie 

when you're holding up your phone and making faces at it, as though you are taking a selfie, but you're really taking a picture of the person across from you or the wall or anything else that seems interesting but you don't want to be caught dead taking a picture of.

This action is often made more convincing by wiggling the eyebrows or opening the mouth, to pretend you're trying to get a Snapchat filter to work.
FRIEND A: "Did you just take a stealthie of me?"

FRIEND B (turning phone around): "no I was just using snapchat's new filter, see?"

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.”
