A cuda (used "y'cuda" when calling someone one) is someone who mindlessly and instinctively follows trends, regardless of how dumb the trends are. This kind of behavior is both incredibly irritating and prevalent in 2017 culture.

The word stems from an analogy made by Chris D'Elia on his podcast Congratulations where he compares people who go to events like Coachella as being like Barracuda's, fish that just blindly follow the crowd.
Oh, you go to Burning Man and camp out for a week in the middle of the desert and dress like a fairy? Y'cuda and frankly, y'lost...S'whatyare.

A boring person who needs overstimulation (i.e, coachella) in order to feel something, or the inability to entertain themselves simply with their own thoughts and intellect. Synonymous with "philistine", "basic", or "fuckboy". Coined by comedian Chris D'Elia.
"Y'ever see a barracuda on a boat see a fuckin' bracelet? It goes NUTS. S'wha'ch'yar if you're at Coachella. Y'have the attention span of a barracuda. Y'cuda." - Chris D'Elia

Combination of the words 'you're a barracuda'. It's a good way to tell someone they're being real fucking stupid. Coined by the legend himself, Chris D'elia.

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 A: "Did you just take a stealthie of me?"

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.”
