Distractionship

A bond formed between two people that is beneath a relationship or a situationship for the sole purpose of distracting oneself or selves from another relationship or situationship. This may be done consciously or subconsciously. Additionally, one person may see the bond as more of a relationship/situationship whereas the other person may truly see it for what it is.

A relationship is your boyfriend/girlfriend. A situationship is the sticky mess you find yourself in with a person who avoids commitment. And distractionship(s) are all the random people on your snap that you flirt with to make yourself feel better about said relationship or situationships.

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.”
