Midwest Nice

A concept that is not well understood in coastal areas of the United States or frankly anywhere next to an ocean. It is a manner of non-confrontationally addressing a situation that is somehow annoying in a passive-aggressive manner that is subtle enough to be considered friendly.

For example, if someone says "You're fine" it almost certainly means you're doing something to annoy them. "Let me sneak past you" means you're someone's way." "I can wait" means you need to hurry up. "You sure that's a good idea?" means it is not a good idea, and you look stupid.

I dropped some Midwest Nice on this guy from Maryland. He error coded 404 because he was unsure if I was being nice or just wanted him to make a damn decision already.

Midwest Nice

The type of niceness you see from a guy from the midwest areas in America such as Michigan or Wisconsin, who is considered the most laid-back dude ever. If he's someone with the midwest nice is owning the lawn and he sees your lawn is getting pretty shaggy, he's going to offer to mow your lawn. If you don't have enough money for Culvers, he'll gladly pay for the rest of his cheese curds and custard. If you're stepping on his foot, he'll say "Ope! excuse me sir/ma'am, I hope it's not to big of an ask but may you... um you're stepping on my foot, it kinda hurts, thank you!"
Charlie Berens is a youtube with the midwest nice.

"This guy, yeah, he offered to clean out my gutter for free, he must have that Midwest Nice or something."

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?"

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.”
