straight acting
1. Conventionally masculine. Describes a homosexual male whose behaviour resembles that of the traditional heterosexual or straight male stereotype. Often considered politically incorrect (or even homophobic) as a label, but can be used facetiously. May apply to gay males who exhibit conventional masculinity out of a genuine predisposition, as well as to those who affect it out of insecurity (sometimes to remain in the closet).
2. The gay male equivalent of the lipstick lesbian. As a social phenomenon, the "straight acting" homosexual breaks from gay stereotypes in a way comparable to the metrosexual's defiance of straight stereotypes. (Both labels rely on stereotypes in order to be understandable, even as they describe non-stereotypical behaviour.)

1. "I've never considered myself downright flaming, but my straight acting boyfriend makes me look sooo faggy."
2. "He's so straight acting he passed by my gaydar undetected."
3. "I hate the term 'straight acting.' I mean, who's to say that straight people aren't trying to act like US?"

Straightbaiting
If there is a word "Queerbaiting" for the straights, there should also be one for the gays! Introducing, STRAIGHTBAITING. Where lesbians and gays reunite to bait straights to bring them terror they give for the gays when they bait us.
These are the straightbaiters' objective:
1. To bait the straights
2. Make them say their homophobic thoughts without them realizing that we are straightbaiters
3. Expose their discrimination and feed off their drained soul
And lastly, 4. Convert them to become HOMOSEXUALS

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.

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.”
