afro-diva-act

Afro-diva-act: (n) an emotionally and in some cases sexually stimulating performer of African descent. A person who embodies this word is very skilled in their craft and can use such talent to arouse the human spirit into any feeling, thereby using the definition as an adjective, creating a performance that is an "afro-diva-act." Such an event leaves all who attend in complete awe and amazement due to the magnitude of an afro-diva-act's stage presence. This word does not limit sexual orientation.

e.g. Patti LaBelle, Aretha Franklin, Celia Cruz, Lillias White, Whitney Houston, Audra McDonald, Tina Turner, Jennifer Hudson, Fantasia, Beyonce, Tituss Burgess

This saying originated from getting tongue tied off of the word "aphrodisiac".

1) "Did you see Patti LaBelle in Fela! on Broadway? She killed "Rain" from start to finish!-- her voice left us speechless and crying! Now that's an afro-diva-act, honey.

2) "Beyonce's whole I Am Tour was phenomenal. The lights? the dancing? The voice?! She is an afro-diva-act to the max."

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?"

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.”
