The Grid

Nickname for gay dating app Grindr. Used in reference to the display of profiles as tiles on a scrollable grid.

Tommy: I was on the grid and 281 people viewed my profile since I changed my display name from ‘Tommy’ to ‘Big Ol’ Willy.’
Ollie: Tommy, you’re a slut and we love you for it.

The Grid

A grotesque and dismal place made up of politics, mainstream news, Joe Rogan, kid diddlers, celebrities, woke folk, credit card reward points, fast food, porn, social media arguments, the lottery, health advice from the obese, billboards that strongly suggest if you don't think obese women are beautiful then you are racist, The Big Bang Theory, covid, plant meat, and Black Friday. It is where Gridders live happily unhappy- leading fearful, depressing lives. On The Grid, everyone wants to have a mental illness and Flat Screen TVs are a measure of success.

"Damn dude, that joke is funny. It's too bad you can't say funny jokes when youre on The Grid."

Grid

Grown kid

A pejorative term used to refer to a young adult beyond their early twenties still dependent upon their parents for daily well-being.

Not to be confused with a Boomerang Kid, these are single young men and women who are lazy, able-bodies sloths, unwilling to support themselves, and generally provide no positive contribution to society.

Tom: Has your grid gotten a job yet?

Joe: No, what about yours?

Tom: Man, if it weren't for their mother, I'd have put my lazy-ass grids out ages ago.
