curryphile

Similar to weaboos/koreaboos/sinophiles, but for Indian culture.

They fetishize Indian culture and tend to simplify it down to very few traits. Many curryphiles will obsess over Bollywood, Indian food, yoga, and might dabble in veganism or vegetarianism.

This can often be an outcome of visiting India for the first time and claiming to have a "spiritual awakening".
Jenny: Namaste, Karina! I visited India for the first time on a mission trip, and It was so amazing! The food was so good, I met all of these cute kids, and I'm definitely going to go back!
Karina: Jenny, why are you wearing a bindi?
Jenny: Oh, I just thought it was really pretty. Guess what? I decided I'd go vegan after my time in Hyderabad. I also signed up for a yoga class. Ahhh it's so cool! All of it!
Karina (under her breath): she's become a curryphile after a single trip...

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.”
