portland throwdown 

A challenge to fight where the increasing severity of the challenger's verbal threats are directly proportional to the increasing distance from their opponent. This type of challenge is typical of the passive-aggressive culture in Portland, Oregon, where a real fight is less likely to break out compared to other, harder cities in the United States.
Bouncer: "Sorry , you can't come in tonight, you've had too much to drink."
Drunk (face to face): "C'mon , my friends are in there/I'm not that drunk/it's my birthday/I come here all the time!"
Bouncer: Sorry, you're welcome to come back tomorrow, but not tonight."
Drunk (5ft. away): "This place sucks anyway."
Bouncer: ...
Drunk (10ft. away): "Man, you a bitch!"
Bouncer: "Ok, have a good night, get home safe."
Drunk (15ft. away) "I'll beat your ass, bitch!"
Bouncer: "Just go home dude..."
Drunk (Halfway down the block) "Try me motherfucker! I'll kick your faggot ass!"
Bouncer: "Ok, now you're 86'ed.."
Drunk (One block away, shirtless and flexing) "I'M GONNA FUCKING KILL YOU!!"
Bouncer: "...he's literally now one city block away from me."
Passer-by from out of town: "Wow, that was the most Portland-y attempt to throw down I've ever seen."
Bouncer: "Yup, that's exactly how a Portland Throwdown works. See? Now he's almost two blocks away and yelling louder. If we were in Boston he would have just decked me."

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.”
