contracord/contracorded 

Contracord is defined as the phenomena, notion, concept, or/and item whereby one perceives an inability to (simply) explain the difference(s) or relationship(s) (existing) between two or more items, concepts, notions, ideas, and/or phenomena, despite understanding them in isolation from one another and having sufficient/satisfactory (perceivable) distinctiveness in an of themselves.
Unrelated notions result in contracord. Too closely linked notions can result in contracord. Contracord is context sensitive. Contracord is also not context sensitive. Contracord captures a new conceptualisation of linguistic ambiguity and functions as a language model fibre to address communication and/ or conceptual entropy. Contracord is a logic aid, but also a logic dissolver device. Contracord is found in the term, where it is difficult to explain the difference between what contracord means and what it does not mean. It is both flexible and adaptive, paradoxical and logical, conventional and postmodern, a zoom in and an abstraction, a thing in and of itself or that bridges other things. Contracord is a word, but it is even moreso, a framework for building better conceptual abstractions and providing a medium for explication of obscure notions. Contracord helps us understand the subjectivity of language and make the most out of it, by using that subjective backbone in supporting our unique worldviews out in the open.

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.”
