How sway 

"How Sway" is Kanye West's response to something DJ Sway said although no one can remember now what that was. But everyone remembers the response. Maybe it was because the words flowed so well, "How Sway?" That's it. That's all. And now it's an iconic response to someone stating the impossible or just a cool thing to say.
Me: "It's my birthday today!" Cool Cat response: "How swaaay..." (How sway)

Reaction to someone doing or saying something that is completely impossible. Unheard of, not realistic or hard to understand.

How Sway? = "How is that possible?"

"How Sway?" was invented by Kanye West during his rant to radio host, Sway.

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.”
