bibliosomnia 

The drifting off to sleep while reading a book or other reading material. Could also work while watching TV.
A man goes to the doctor's office and says, "I'm worried about my father, we keep finding him fast asleep with a book in his lap, or a magazine sliding down his chest. What's happening to him?"

The doctor nods, consults her notes, and says, "A classic case of bibliosomnia, plan and simple. Has he considered listening to podcasts instead?"

bibliosmia

The smell and aroma of a good book.
Sometimes the best thing about a book is that wonderful sensation of bibliosmia: the effect the book has on the nostrils as you breathe in the scent of the pages. Some people are a junkie for that.

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.”
