vancouver special

A basic and boxy housing style that was prevalent in East Vancouver, Canada, during a housing boom in the 60's and 70's. Cheap and easy to build, houses were 2 level structures with a basement that was easily converted into an illegal rental suite.

--Hey man, I heard you just bought a house.

--Yeah, it's a Vancouver special. I hope to flip it quickly but the basement suite should cover the mortgage in the meantime.

Vancouver Special

Description of the majority of beautiful Asian women found in Vancouver. As beautiful as they may be, they all actually look the same! Just like all the 'Vancouver Special' homes built in a particular architectural style in the period from roughly 1965 to 1985 in Vancouver. These women will usually sport a designer handbag, ombre hair, fake eyelashes and snobby attitude.

I'm not going to (insert Vancouver club here)! It's full of Vancouver Specials!

Vancouver Special

A typical Vancouver person: non-commital, flakey, two faced, dishonest.

Kirk: how's Claudia doing with her new boyfriend?
Josh: oh, you know, he's a Vancouver Special. Nobody wants that.

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."
