A word used when the pressure is on you to be cool. When all your hip friends use words like, Groovy and Keen, just say Salad Tongs and you will be Mister Popular!
An act performed while cuddling, when the two parties are facing each other and their legs are intertwined. This act is similar to spooning, but both parties benefit from mutual love and intimacy.
Guy 1: So did you and your girlfriend bang last night?
Guy 2: No, we were both feeling tired, so we did some salad tonged instead. It was bliss.
A modified form of canoodling in which one partner, generally the smaller of the two, lays on top of the other. This positions the partners faces in such a way as to facilitate smooches.
Al: When I woke up, you and Linda were makin out!
Jeff: Nah bro, that was just the "Salad Tong"
Al: Oh, sick!
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.”
