The shorthand/acronym for the job of a cleaner/redrawer of scanlations(typically: fan translation of comics). It combines the letters CL for 'CLeaner' and 'ReDrawer.' This acronym is mostly used on the credits or recruitment page of a scanlation upload.
The number of fans of the media being translated is about the same as the number of different ways a job is referred to in the scanlation community (read: MANY different ways). This definition is not an exhaustive list of acronyms that have been used, nor claiming to be the standard usage-- please keep this in mind when trying to apply or compare this definition to real examples.
Many different jobs having to do with scanlation were turned into acronyms in the past but the trends as of 2023 seem to be moving away from doing so. Credit pages now often use the full titles rather than acronyms.
Sometimes the job of cleaner and the job of redrawer are one in the same and sometimes not, this means there may be just a cleaner, just a redrawer, a cleaner/redrawer, or a cleaner and a redrawer. The example given is of a cleaner/redrawer which is when the job of cleaner and redrawer were both needed and both done by the same person.

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.”
