Hard By You

A comment directed to someone who has done something considered daring, badass, ballsy, risky, or awesome (see "savage").

The opposite is "soft by you", describing the opposite - action of someone who is not willing to take chances and take part in badass behavior.

People who consistently take part in "hard" or "soft" behavior can simply be described as such.

When referring to someone not involved in the conversation, one can substitute the "you" with the person's name or appropriate pronoun.

It should be noted that the phrase is often embellished with a well-placed "bro."

Popularized by soccer players throughout the United States, in states such as Florida, Virgina, and California. Recently, versions in Spanish have extended influence in Spain, Mexico, Argentina, and the Dominican Republic.
- "Hard by you to not study at all for the final and still get an A."

- "Hard by me to fuck Stephanie when her boyfriend is away?"
- "Yeah, and soft by you to watch gay porn."

- "Soft by Mauricio to not throw a party while his parents are away."

- "Did you hear about Alex? He's dating like four girls at once!"
- "Yeah bro, he's so hard."

- "I just pulled 75 mph in a 40!"
- "Hard by you, bro!"

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.”
