Flu Fright 

1. The irrational fear of a new influenza virus, stoked by hysterical news reporting and inaccurate information. 2. A way to increase ad sales and viewership on 24-hour news channels.

Susan is suffering from a bad case of Flu Fright. She's cancelled all of her committee meetings and refuses to come to work.

Flight Flu

The sickness one gets on an airplane from breathing disease-infested recycled air.

I'm sure I caught this flight flu on my trip from LA to NYC.

fighter's flu 

When a person claims to be a fighter and also that he or she is thinking about participating in a fighting sport, for example a jiu-jitsu tournament or a boxing match, but on the day of the event doesn't show.

Bob- "Where's Mike, he said he was thinking about competing."

John- "That's what he said last time. He always gets the fighter's flu and doesn't show."

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.”

Cheeks 

An Irish phrase meaning shit, derived from ass
(Not to be confused with the literal description of one's buttocks)

"Did you hear the song Aylek$ dropped?"
"Hardly. Her music is absolute cheeks."

"My boyfriend say LaFlame is cheeks."
"Tell your boyfriend I said it's his mixtape that's cheeks."
