Sharksploitation

Sharksploitation is a subgenre of exploitation film that involves sharks or shark attacks. The genre emerged in the wake of the 1975 film Jaws and its sequels.

Other examples of sharksploitation films include the Sharknado film series (2013-2018), Deep Blue Sea (1999), Mega Shark Versus Giant Octopus (2009), and Dinoshark (2010). A documentary about the subgenre, titled Sharksploitation, was released in 2023.
Peter Benchley, the author of Jaws (the book that served as the source material for the 1975 blockbuster hit of the same name), regrets how his work inspired sharksploitation in the media and led the public to see sharks as vengeful creatures. Benchley became a full-time marine activist and speaker, advocating for shark conservation for the rest of his life.

Movie that shows Irish Travellers in a good light, implying that anyone who doesn't care overmuch for knackers has simply lost their wild romantic side. Such productions typically have big Hollywood money behind them. Think more Into The West than Pavee Lackeen.
Oh, great. Here we go with the salt of the earth movie tinkers again. Yes, it's another dreary knacksploitation flick.

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.”

An Irish phrase meaning shit, derived from ass
(Not to be confused with the literal description of one's buttocks)
"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."
