Shell Game

Tactics used to deliberately confuse someone so that their previous agreements can be broken. (Made popular by street perfomers, where there are 3 shells or cups in a row. One shell or cup has a ball placed underneath. The performer moves all the shells around quickly and then stops. The subject is asked to guess where the ball is...usually incorrect.)

Mary said she had a great girl she wanted me to meet this weekend. On Thursday, I asked Mary "so Mary, what's this girll's name i'm meeting this weekend?" Mary replies "oh, i think it's Jenny or maybe it's Jason..i'll let you know. On Friday you ask "so Mary, is her name Jenny or Jason?" Mary replies "do I know you?" You call your friend and say Mary just played the Shell Game.

new game smell

when you purchase a new game and rip open the plastic open the case and take a whiff of that lovely new game smell! Possibly a human reaction like dogs sniffing stinky holes. The orgin of this action is unknown but is a closet action of many gamers. Even Ice-T does it. Look for gears of war 3 unboxing ice t on youtube!

ME: I cant wait for gears of war 3 to hit the streets!

YOU: Its already out you noob!

ME: Im going to pick it up and enjoy the new game smell!

YOU: new game smell?

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.”
