Pronounced "Mal-ah-MO-rey" (with a slight Italian roll of the "r"), the Malamore is a term created in an MDI English class to describe the feeling a person developes toward a person that starts as a physical attraction (or a crush), then grows into what feels like a passion. It is when you seem to not be able to acquire that person, but would do anything for them. Somewhere between love and "like-like."
Person 1: You really like him a lot, don't you?
Person 2: Yeah, but he's going out with Robin. We talk all the time though.
Person 1: Sounds like you're suffering from some serious Malamore.
Of an antagonist in a work, to be seen as an object of desire by fans despite their villainous actions in canon, often due to handsome appearance or justifiable motivation.
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.

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.”
