Another way of saying you will "slit your wrist". To understand, hold a "playing the violin" position with your arms/hands. Now, picture the position without the violin and instead of the bow used to play the instrument, picture yourself holding something sharp with the other hand.
This saying was created after watching a scene from the movie, "Gerald's Game" where the main character "Jessie" cuts an incision up "her wrist and into her palm, then forcing her hand down through the cuff as the skin peels upward like a latex glove coming off."

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.”
