Light the Tire

to send a signal for help.
Alternative definition- to give up.

This is a term created in recognition of the fact that often people are trapped in the woods and they die because no one ever finds them. Like idiots they simply sit in their car. Rather they should take a tire off their car and light it on fire (using gas from the tank and the car lighter). The plume of black smoke would be seen for 50 miles.

Dude, Light the Tire, that chick wants nothing to do with you.

Kick the tires and light the fires 

1. All the necessary steps before starting the MAIN step have been completed so it is ready to be executed. It is used if the audience knows what's the main step.

2. To set forth.

Coming from jargon of figter pilots, who use it when they are ready to take-off with afterburners ignition (lighting the fires) after checking the gear as part of preflight check (kicking the tires).

A: Boss, we verified the procedure and everything works flawlessly.
B: Great, let's kick the tires and light the fires.

A: Man, we've waited so long already.
B: You're right, it's time to KTLF.

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."
