kuchisake-onna 

In Japanese mythology, the ghost of a woman who was married to a samurai. She cheated on him with another man, and when her husband found that out, he killed her by cutting a slash wound on her face that ran from her mouth to her cheek. Nowadays, she roams the streets at night with a surgeon's mask and asks random people the question "Do you think I'm pretty?". If you say no, she will mutilate you. However, if you say yes, she will reveal her full face to you. Then she will ask the same question. Again, if you say no, you will still be mutilated. If you say yes again, she will cut your face in order to make you look like her. The only known way to avoid death during a confrontation with a kuchisake-onna is by saying that she is neither pretty nor ugly or some other unexpected answer. Right after answering, throw something at her and run for your life.

The kuchisake-onna's name means "slit-mouth woman" in Japanese.

Kuchisake-onna: Now am I pretty?

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.”
