To hold composure, even in the stickiest of situations; to be a juggernaut with grace 100 percent of the time...every time. It may be used at times when someone may be feeling doubt, fear, anger, sadness, nervousness, agitated, shame, or like a pussy; generally among friends. It is the only appropriate remedy when the speaker finds their friend or acquaintance at their lowest state of being.
I opened the door one day to find my best friend soaking wet and crying, and he tells me that he has just lost his job, his wife has left him, his dog ran away, his car was stolen, and he's broke. I had never seen a man look so shockingly, depressed before. After a long pause, the only helpful words that I could think of were "Just maintain." The next day, my friend went big on the stock market and bought a new car, found his dog, got a job with a bigger firm, and had a Victoria Secret model offer to run away with him.

Apr 30 Word of the Day
A buzz word being used to refer to creators and influencers forming or encouraging unhealthy relationships with their fans. Usually used in the context of young audiences feeling they have a relationship with the influencer due to the huge amount of the influencer’s content they consume. The influencer in question, however, is unaware of the fan’s existence other than the general knowledge of having fans. Common examples include Dream and his stans. These relationships are exacerbated by the influencers confirming they have more than a creator-to-viewer relationship.
The word is circulating due to various YouTube essays about the phenomenon using the word, and therefore people who enjoy complaining about influencers repeating what they heard in the video in any comments section they can find.
