A varient of "How's it going" or the American "How's it hanging". Used quite a bit in the south of Ireland, especially in Cork.
Cork Feen: Here Bai, how's the form?
Cork Bai: Ah you know, sure I'm da berries since I got that massive tumour removed.
Cork Feen: ....daecent, daecent.
Translation:
Cork Male: Hey Man, how's it going?
Cork Male 2: Well, I've been great since I got that massive tumour removed.
Cork Male:....good, good.
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.”
