eurosplaining 

When Europeans smugly extol the virtues of their country in relation to the United States with respect to education and healthcare implying we don't actually know what's good for us and without heeding to and respecting the inertial power of the corporate oligarchy.
Many Western Europeans view the United States in such a broad brush strokes, they believe our issues are simple cases of widespread, willful ignorance rather than struggle against centuries of oligarchy. At cocktail parties, those afflicted feel compulsion to explain us into a state of enlightenment, scarcely realizing the extent of their eurosplaining with statements like, "We don't have any significant debt via education here in Germany. Seems like we are economically more feasible. Just a hint"

Exposplaining

A Digitallighting variant where the perpetrator “explains” to the target why an exposé about them is justified, often in the exposé itself. The target is told that they “forced” the exposé by their behavior, that the exposé is actually a service to them, or that they should be grateful for the “accountability.” Exposplaining adds a layer of gaslighting to public call‑outs, making the target feel that their own actions caused the harm and that they should accept the punishment.
Example: “The 30minute video exposé ended with the creator saying ‘I hope this helps you grow.’ Exposplaining: framing a public dismantling as a favor.”

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.”
