Robinism 

noun: In the 1970's, there was a television series based on then-popular DC comic characters Batman and Robin, though the show was simply titled 'Batman'.

In the show, without fail, Batman would dramatically reveal the evil plot of the villan for today's episode to Robin, who would then blurt out the word "Holy..." followed immediately by a creative, often alliterate, and always annoying catchphrase relating to the dramatic plot twist.

Such a phrase is now referred to as a 'Robinism'

Definitions:

1)a phrase uttered to add humor to a tense or dramatic situation, by way of attempting to increase the drama or tension in a rediculous manner.

2) The word 'Robinism' itself can refer to any phrase or action that is overly dramatic, to the point of being rediculous. see Robinesque

See below for an example of a Robinism, whose source I now forget.
Examples of Robinism:

1) 1st Person: "Well, from what I can tell, you seem to suffer from a severe case of poor self-image"

2nd Person: "Holy Inferiority Complex Batman! How low is my self-esteem that I appear as a sidekick in my own fantasy?!"

2) 1st Person: "Did you hear? He's been panicking all day because he hasn't got the money ready Vic..."

2nd Person: "How bad is it?"

1st Person: "About as bad as any other Robinism I've seen..."

Robinism 

Ideology where there is a certain threshold of how much network you can have, stopping inflation. The maximum amount of money you can have can range from 1 million to 100 million of the local currency. Half the money going past the maximum amount will go towards people below the minimum, which is 100,000 of the local currency. The rest counts as tax money for the government to operate. All services are run by the government and only the government can run certain businesses, such as building pipes and utilities, producing any raw materials, and any other primary career. The government consists of a democracy, where everyone votes for a president and a prime minister, 15 senators, and mayors. No money can be put into propaganda, or advertising a candidate. They get one speech that will go on all broadcasting systems in the country, and the people base their vote on that and the candidate's background information. Criminals are allowed to run for prime minister, senator, or mayor as long as the crime they committed did not land them in prison, no defamation can be used by other candidates, and if used, leads to immediate disqualification. Everyone is equal and money is split evenly between people, but if someone is deemed unstable financially (ex. a drug addict), the money will go towards buying food for them.
Robinism is a wonderful ideology, especially with all the financial support I have been getting recently!

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.”
