Pulling a Ted Bell

To welsh on a bet after talking an incredibly large amount of smack about a sports team(normally the nuthugger of a particular team, usually in college or pro sports). To include completely ignoring and avoiding all contract with anyone, or any website, that the winning betting party, and/or that party's friend's, frequent(including social networking websites). To swindle someone out of the money one has laid as a bet is known as pulling a Ted Bell.
Scenario 1:

Friend: "Did that guy ever pay up on that bet with the Florida Gators and Alabama Crimson Tide in 2009?"

Bet winner: "Nope, dude is pulling a Ted Bell and has disappeared off the map. So much for that C-Note he owes me, I'll probably never see it."

Scenario 2:

Friend: "Say, what ever came about with the bet you had with that guy on the Packers/Cowboys game?"

Bet winner: "Uh, yeah, he apparently decided pulling a Ted Bell was the way to go. He hasn't posted since the night of that game when his team lost and no one has heard from him since. Dude still owes me 1 large."

Pulling a ted mosby

Pulling a Teddy 

Mysteriously getting "sick" and missing school whenever there is a test or quiz. Often someone who pulls a Teddy won't miss a full day and will simply come in late just after the test was taken or will get his/her parents to pick him/her up right before. They will almost always have a faked doctor's note.
Person 1: Where's John?
Person 2: He's got his mom to pick him up because he was "sick"
Person 1: Yeah right. He's just pulling a Teddy cause he doesn't want to take the Bio test

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.”
