McConomy 

A term intended to mock the use of or explanations containing the term "economy" - or any related term - by those who know little or nothing whatsoever about the actual functioning of domestic or global economic systems.

The "Mc" generally recalls other common terms to which the prefix has been added in order to diminish their intended meaning (i.e. "McMansion").
I found it hilarious when our science professor launched into a diatribe about when we would recover from the current economic crisis. He kept saying, "well, you know, the McConomy is what it is, it has its ups and downs, you know?"

"It really all comes down to the McConomy."

"Well, I bet it's pretty hard to go out and find a job right now, given the current McConomy and all."

Stealthie 

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?"

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.”
