e-tough guy
An "e-tough guy" is a person seen in massive online games (MMOs) and virtual worlds who gets his avatar all muscled out, gets uber weapons, and then goes around taunting and insulting people because he's so "tough." They have no ability to fight anyone in their actual lives, so they live vicariously through their online persona. Sometimes they will also say that they have "uber programs" or friends in the CIA that can track anyone online, so if a person doesn't give them their demanded respect online, they'll come looking for the offender. This is all a lie.
E-tough guys appeared in chat rooms in the 90s such as on AOL and Prodigy, infesting chat rooms with outrageous claims of physical ability and desire to fight. Moderators of channels would toss them out, but they would get a new handle and come back, starting the process of e-glorification again. By the late 90s when massive online games like Everquest came on the scene, e-tough guys were able to create an avatar that looked like they *wish* they looked, giving greater life to their online tough guy fantasies. Claims involve incredible physical power, sexual ability, and friends in high places that will "get" anyone countering their claims.

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.

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.”
