A state between no longer and not yet, a kind of rite of passage between stages
Lulu: Hey, if you were to describe your life in one word, what would it be

Mawa: Well, lets see... I was denationalized by my country before acquiring nationality elsewhere, so I’d go with liminality.

Liminality

Share definition Flag
Liminality — a conceptual and metaphysical state referring to the threshold between realities, formed through the convergence of dreams, memory, and forgotten architecture of the mind. Unlike its anthropological origin describing transitional human phases, this definition situates Liminality as an indefinite realm or condition born from the subconscious — where abandoned, nostalgic, or surreal spaces exist outside linear time. These spaces are not merely physical but symbolic intersections where the real dissolves and imagination constructs its own geography. Within this view, Liminality represents the suspension of certainty, the coexistence of multiple possible worlds, and the psychological resonance of standing between what was and what could be.
Wandering through the dim hallway that led nowhere, she felt the pull of Liminality — that haunting awareness of being caught between a memory and a dream.

Stealthie 

Share definition Flag
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

Share definition Flag
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.”
