Asking someone to return a favour that you haven't done for them yet. i.e. "Yes, I will dog-sit for you at some time probably. By the way, here's my dog. You have to look after her while I go on a mid-week trip to New York."
I can't believe Colin had the nerve to give me an Irish Reach-around. I have to look after his dog because he made a vague promise to look after mine in the future.
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.”
