caplicate 

To remove a portion from a word or sequence of words, leaving the before and after, to make a word.
You can remove any portion as long as a beginning and end remains, but generally the beginning part is just the first consonant cluster and a good portion of the last word is used for the end.
All words besides the first and last in a sequence of words creating a caplication are discarded.

The word is autological—it comes from the caplication of "cap applicator" to "caplicator", which was originally used at 1:39 in the YouTube video "Wow! I'm hungry!" by DaThings.

It differs from portmanteau because not all portmanteaus are caplications (portmanteaus can blend the words however they like), and not all caplications are portmanteaus (caplications often do not attempt to create any new meaning, whereas a portmanteau has to have a meaning blended from the words that made it). That said, most portmanteaus are caplications.
"Liquid argon" can be caplicated to "largon".
"There is a cat in my house" can be caplicated to "thy house".

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.”
