Social Stroke

A person's sudden tendency to purposely and deliberately do something awkward, cringy, or weird (but not harmful) in front of other people (usually strangers or people they don't know well), with the intent of being amused or entertained by their followed reactions.

John: *Gives a thumbs up to a random stranger he knows he had never seen before, then chuckles at their weirded-face reaction*
Jake (John's friend): "Again with your Social Strokes dude! If you don't care about your social image I do jeez! Just stop it!"
John: "Ahahahahahah! Sorry dude I just had to see his reaction I don't know what happened to me XD"
Jake: "It's called a Social Stroke... You always have them... And always when I'M WITH YOU!"

Socal Stroke

Old School term used Hot Rodders and surfers from the Southern California area, circa the 1970's

Refers to someone who is always making excuses for not following through. Attempting to explain things away by glossing it over or leaving out the sordid details to make it look like it wasn't their fault. A person from Southern California who is full of BS or full of questionable excuses.

We drove all the way to Joe's place in L.A. yesterday to pick up the engine for the hot rod. He still doesn't have it finished. When we confronted him about it, he spun us a bull shit story about all the hold ups on the project. With him, it is the same old Socal Stroke!

Stealthie

when you're holding up your phone and making faces at it, as though you are taking a selfie, but you're really taking a picture of the person across from you or the wall or anything else that seems interesting but you don't want to be caught dead taking a picture of.

This action is often made more convincing by wiggling the eyebrows or opening the mouth, to pretend you're trying to get a Snapchat filter to work.

FRIEND A: "Did you just take a stealthie of me?"

FRIEND B (turning phone around): "no I was just using snapchat's new filter, see?"

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.”
