Disarticulation

When song writers slur or make up words to fill a void to carry the tune.

Jim Morrison uses disarticulation to carry the flow of the tune in the song "light my fire".

The phrase goes:

The time to hesitate is through
No time to wallow in the mire
Try now we can only lose
And our love become a funeral pyre

Jim slurs the second line to be: No time to wallow window mire

It flows better and it sounds cool. Its the equivalent to poetic license in the world of singing.

Disarticulation is an artistic technique that allows singers to flow their phrases to create songs from poems.

Dearticulation

Apparent erosion of the English language. Habitual overuse of a comparative "like" to conveniently reduce a circumstance to a description or verbal illustration. Also preemptively excusing one for not having come up with a better matching expression. Customary decline in readiness to making a commitment to a statement.
Seems to have been invented by Paris Hilton, but now being used by like everyone - oh.

Dearticulation of finding an unexpectedly long line of people: "I was like walking down the street and saw like a hundred people standing a the gate, and I was like - oh my Gosh!

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?"

Grindset

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.”
