The "Three-Week" theory

The "Three-Week" theory is a developmental hypothesis stating that any obsession that occurs past the length of three consecutive weeks will become cemented within the personality and manner of the obsessor.

The "Three-Week" theory begins with an individual learning about or re familiarizing themselves with a certain subject. This subject can be a person, place, thing, or idea. The obsessor throws their entire physical, mental, and spiritual selves into the study, following, and application of said subject. While most cases of hardcore obsession cease after a period spanning anywhere from fifteen minutes to two weeks, the obsessors in these cases prolong their obsession to the length of a three-week period. Once this three week period is hit, the obsession has been proven to occupy a small but significant portion of the obsessors brain. At this point, the impact of the obsession will now become long-lasting, or in some cases, permanent. Most obsessors may be aware after the three-week period that their obsession has reached the point of no return, though some obsessors lack the self-awareness to recognize the unnatural nature of their obsession.

Friend 1: I can't believe Jennifer's still obsessed with Jacob Sartorius. I thought it was just a joke but it's been three whole weeks.

Friend 2: According to the "Three-Week" theory, there's no stopping her obsession now.

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.”

Cheeks 

An Irish phrase meaning shit, derived from ass
(Not to be confused with the literal description of one's buttocks)

"Did you hear the song Aylek$ dropped?"
"Hardly. Her music is absolute cheeks."

"My boyfriend say LaFlame is cheeks."
"Tell your boyfriend I said it's his mixtape that's cheeks."

Breadhead 

Someone who is addicted to obtaining money and building wealth. A money addict and fanatic. Breadheads often work more than one full-time job, and some even participate in illicit activities to "obtain the bread".

A breadhead is like a crackhead, but for money instead of crack.
