Commonly seen in sci-fi, technobabble is a term commonly used to describe authors making up something that sounds smart, while actually being completely meaningless. It can also be used to describe a quack doing the same thing.

Technobabble Fallacy 

The mistaken belief that an argument is valid or true simply because it uses complex, scientific-sounding, or technical language—regardless of whether the content makes any actual sense.
“Quantum vibrations in your DNA resonate with the cosmic frequency of abundance, aligning you with the higher dimensional matrix of manifestation.”

“Nah, bro. That’s just the technobabble fallacy.”

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 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.”
