Ferrousies 

An ancient war-like group of Hebrews who mined iron ore.
The Ferrousies may have believed in only one god, but they surely spent an "ungodly" amount of time fighting with their neighbors (and creating iron weapons to do so) instead of actually sitting down with them and cool-headedly researching/discussing said belief.

Word presented by Adam V. Shattock, Rhodesian civil and mechanical engineer, and great great grandson of the famed and inventive James Henry Greathead (who built the first cylindrical underground railway tunnels in the world in Victorian London).

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.”
