donkey on a waffle 

To engage in work at your own pace while giving the impression of assigning it the highest of priorities. Due to the vague nature of the statement, once the true meaning is discovered, it is neither questioned nor criticized.

(First regained popularity as a phrase in the IT industry around late 1999 - early 2000.)
"I'll be all over getting these reports done like a donkey on a waffle!"

all over it like a donkey on a waffle 

To make an act one's top priority, much like scarfing free breakfast would be for a donkey, were it confronted by an unattended waffle. Usage of the phrase implies some amount of immediacy or urgency to the performance of the act.
Boss: Can you get that done by noon?
You: I'm all over it like a donkey on a waffle.
Boss: Hell yeah.

All over it like a donkey on a waffle 

To be completely on top of something, much as a donkey, when standing over a waffle, covers it entirely.
"Oh, that website you wanted me to finish? I'm all over it, like a donkey on a waffle."
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.”
