"That is good to hear, Aquarius. And you, sir, are a steely-eyed missile man!"

-Apollo 13 movie dialogue

steely eyed poser 

A term used to describe someone who knows the lingo of all the real warriors, killers, and violence slingers... but has never really actually lived that lifestyle. One who has probably got some buddies or some mundane connections to that world and uses those befuddled connections to gain just enough knowledge to sound a little credible on the subject to others like him on blogs and such. The term is a play on words of the phrase " steely eyed killer" which is a way to desciribe those who are or who have lived the life of performance of violence and warriorship on demand.

Vague martial arts credentials, hazy claims of SEAL knowledge, LARPING and queer adoration for all things spec ops (without actually being spec ops) are definitely signs that you are dealing with a steely eyed poser. Or a 14 year old boy.
Blogger A- " Wow I did this blog. This guy is real high speed and he sounds just like those guys from the Predator movie. A real steely eyed killer, ya know?

Blogger B- "No, I bet he paints dolls and SEAL action figures. Probably more like a steely eyed poser."

steely-eyed missile man 

A man's man. Especially a military man who is willing to place himself in harm's way for the good of his unit or its mission. Also, any man who weighs his own desires and aspirations against the needs and welfare of others less powerful than himself. Any male, protective provider capable of violence against those who would harm the weak, but not overly quick to "bring it."
Grandchild: "Why are Grandpa's hands so stiff and sore?"

Father: " 'Cuz he spent his life fighting in wars so you won't have to."

Grandpa: "Shut up, boy, you'll make him into a pussy."

Father: "Give me a break, Pop, I want him to be a steely-eyed missile man just like you."

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.”
