A lie, so bold in nature and so obvious, it defies logic as to why it was told. A lie so huge and so transparent, not only does the one being told know it is a lie, but the liar knows it. And the person being told the lie knows the liar knows he/she knows and so on ad infinum. Based on the name Vladimir Putin, prime minister of Russia, in regards to his ability to purposely misspeak.

Tom: You're just one big putinism, aren't you?
noun: a bold faced lie so audaciously transparent that it defies all conceivable logic.

Tom:
A bold lie. A lie that is so obvious that a unborn fetus knows its a lie. It can also mean dumb and retarded. The lie is so bad that the person who is being told the lie knows it’s a lie and the liar knows that the person being told the lie knows it’s a lie. This word is based on the Russian prime minister Vladimir Putin who has spoken many lies.
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.”
