Gaijin 4Koma

Gaijin 4Koma (4-frame foreigners) or 'Reaction Guys' to many who started lurking 4chan after 2006 or thereabouts.

A series of four-paned comics based on two photographs of IGN employees reacting to Nintendo’s announcement of new titles at the E3 conference in 2003/04. The multi-pane set up is typically used to express one’s disappointment and excitement over two separate things.

The original four-paned template sparked the imaginations of many 4chan/IGN forumite and soon enough, the meme was exploited to include all manner of variations e.g. extra panes, excitement before disinterest, photo-shopping the employees heads, inverted colours to denote a division by zeo etc. Thousands of these images exist today.

To those in the know, Gaijin 4Koma is still widely regarded as one of the best memes ever.

Gaijin 4Koma example...

Frame 1: The World Trade Centre.

Frame 2: Employees showing disinterest and blank expressions.

Frame 3: Plane flying into the second tower and exploding on impact.

Frame 4: Employees showing excitement and absolute euphoria.

church hurt

church hurt is where you experience a degree of distance, pain, or judgement from your church community. Essentially, you are just unable to “find your place”. This is prevalent in the Christian community, but can be extended to other religions.

Now that I am an adult I am beginning to heal from the church hurt that was inflicted on me as a child.

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.”
