Patel Motel

A motel that has been bought out by people of East Indian descent, especially owned by someone often (but not always) with the surname of Patel, due to most (but not all) Patels being part of the Indian caste for owning land, and also because it rhymes (Jat Motel doesn't have the same ring to it), most often by buying out a defunct motel location "as-is" and making no efforts to improve the property after acquisition.

Normally this should be insignificant, but if you land a cheap motel in a state of disrepair and just barely meeting habitability standards and/or has bad housekeeping, there's a good chance your motel is Indian-owned (but as repeatedly emphasized, not always). "Patel Hotel" can also be used when applicable to a hotel (especially the OYO Hotel franchise).

See also Potel.

I tried to be open-minded when I saw a statue of Ganesha while checking in, but the towels are brownish gray, the bed has a popped-out spring held in place by duct tape, half of the hallway lights are burnt out, and getting woken up by a cockroach crawling on my face are facts too hard to ignore the fact that I accidentally reserved a Patel Motel.

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

"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."

Breadhead

A breadhead is like a crackhead, but for money instead of crack.
