English, motherfucker, do you speak it? 

Spoken, usually screamed, at someone who has failed to speak or write understandable English. Sometimes bowdlerized as "English, do you speak it?" or misquoted as "English, do you speak it, motherfucker?"

Arguably the most famous line from the iconic 1994 film Pulp Fiction. Ironically, the original line was not asked in response to someone speaking incorrect English, but asked by Samuel L. Jackson's character as a rhetorical question to whether or not a frightened man spoke English at all after the man repeatedly said "what?" to his questions.
"What country you from?"
"What?"
"'What' aint no country I ever heard of! They speak English in 'what'?"
"What?"
"English, motherfucker, do you speak it?"

English, motherfucker! 

Best line from Pulp Fiction.
English, motherfucker! Do- You- Speak- It?

English, motherfucker! 

What you can scream at someone when said individual is rambling on about anything stupid, uninteresting, or nerdy. The perfect "shut up" phrase. Coined from the infamous "Ezekiel 25:17" scene in "Pulp Fiction" starring Samuel L. Jackson and John Travolta.

Me: English, motherfucker!
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.”
