Living off the land 

Surviving on refreshments and foodstuffs from attending various events and meetings, a common practice for engineers at the University of Toronto.
Yo man, I gotta cook some food tonight, I've been living of the land for too long.

Formerly referring to there being an adequately-abundant supply of wild food and clean water in a certain area that a human could survive there for extended periods, it nowadays is often a "grim grinds" reference to how wasteful the population in a given area is as a whole, and that a good scrounger could literally find enough edibles and other basic essentials in the neighborhood's dumpsters and waste-piles to sustain himself quite comfortably.
Visiting dude, accompanying his buddy to help scavenge for discarded returnables in a shopping-mall complex: Zheesh, Dude --- look at all these still-perfectly-edible half-eaten sandwiches and pizza-slices just tossed out in da trash-bins! There's enough here to feed an army!
Local dude who's showing his friend around: Ooooh, yeah --- fer sher, Pal! We are a VERY wasteful society --- feller could live off the land around here, 'specially in da summertime when all da tourists are flocking though!

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.”

An Irish phrase meaning shit, derived from ass
(Not to be confused with the literal description of one's buttocks)
"Did you hear the song Aylek$ dropped?"
"Hardly. Her music is absolute cheeks."

"My boyfriend say LaFlame is cheeks."
"Tell your boyfriend I said it's his mixtape that's cheeks."
