pulling a joey

Faking sick and not coming to school, instead staying home and doing absolutely nothing.

Saying you did your homework, then looking for a half-hour, not finding anything, saying you swear it was there, and completely lie even though everyone knows you didn't do your homework.

Steve: Where's Joe today?
Ed: Oh, he's totally pulling a Joey.

Joe: I know I did my homework, but I just can't find it. Can I check my locker?
Teacher: Sure
(half-hour later)
*bell rings*
Joe: I did it, but can I get it to you tomorrow?
Teacher: Yes...
*Joe then looks in the extra sheets folder, takes the homework, and doesn't do it anyways. The cycle continues forever*

Pulling a Joey

When during a conversation, someone interjects with a comment that is off topic, and often nonsensical, or illogical.

Example of Joey pulling a Joey:

Zech: "You don't get your burger with mustard? Ew."
Jackson: "What do you mean mustard fucking sucks on burgers."
Joey: "Dude I think Owen and Trishelle are gonna hang up on me."

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.”
