Sociological Imagination 

A meaningless term used to legitimize the Global London course at the University of Notre Dame London study abroad program. Concepts associated with the sociological imagination include: challenging the obvious, making gross stereotypes about an entire population based on one person's experience, relinquishing any concept of personal free will because all thoughts and actions are obviously determined by societal pressures, white guilt for oppressing the minorities and not being socially welcoming, and an intense love for immigrants.
Today in seminar, I used my sociological imagination to examine the contested history of African migration to London.

Sociogetically

(adv.)
In a manner that assumes the listener will intuitively grasp the generative logic of a social or conceptual system without explicit guidance, prioritization, or clarification.
"The professor explained the theory sociogetically, dropping jargon without flagging the core principles."

"When people explain things they use extra terms and never explain what is important to remember, and what is not; expecting one to understand it sociogetically."

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?"

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.”
