Polluted Mindset 

Something that works it's way into your head and creates a false sense of security. Spending time worrying about things that could potentially keep you from reaching your goals.

Mike McCarthy, Head coach of the Green Bay Packers seemingly coined this phrase on 12/30/2010 when asked if his team would have a tendency to let down if the Bears decided to rest their players in the season finale vs. the Packers. He answered the question with ... "That's a "polluted mindset".

When you worry about whether the Chicago Bears will rest their starters in the season finale you run the risk of creating a "polluted mindset" among your team.

When you let a lot of outside influences enter your way of thinking it can create a "polluted mindset". Our football team is very excited to play. It's important for us to clearly stay focused on winning and playing the best that we possibly can for the whole game. It's as simple as that."

nigga mindset 

The nigga mindset is a pessimistic mindset often dwelled into by young black adolescents. The adolescent would like an item, but can not afford it, and often resorts to stealing, extortion and more, as they feel pessimistic, as if they are incapable of getting a job, or feel broke. This can be triggered by jealousy, or another person showing off (also known as "flexing") their materialistic item to the young black adolescent.

"I was broke on the block I ain't have a job
Ain't no way to get no money so I had to rob"

- No Label - Lil Tjay

Person 1: Hey, why did you rob that store?
Person 2: I dwelled into the nigga mindset
