BA1100N or BA1100N with a Sierra Tango ring. an inside joke in the U.S. Military. Said as "Bee Ay eleven hundred November" or "Bee Ay eleven hundred November with a Sierra Tango ring"

when written down, it is a balloon or a balloon with a string.

it is a way to get rid of a new recruit by sending to go do something that makes them look stupid and waste time, ending in some form of extra workload for them. it is sometimes considered very insulting to the person you send them to, because you will not find a balloon- and they can not return without one. it is best used when you know the other person involved.
0311: "hey Boot!"

Boot: "Corporal?"

0311: "Why in all that is green and holy do you not have a BA1100N secured to your gear? Go down to supply and get fit for a BA1100N with a Sierra Tango ring. and for fuck's sake make sure it fits on your A.L.I.C.E. pack before you leave!"

Boot goes to supply to get a balloon on a string to attach to his backpack. Can now be found polishing stones with a single q-tip or guarding a used coffee filter at the position of attention in 120 degree weather for the next day.

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.”
