Shambrarian 

Someone who knows enough truth about how libraries really work, but not enough to go insane or be qualified as a real librarian.

A portmanteau of Sham and Librarian

Symptoms:

* Holds strong, unwavering opinions about library records, that cannot typically be stated without at least 3 different expletives.
* Drinks like a fish to try to stem the pain from their considerations of the kafka-esque procedures running the library world today.
* For some reason, a guy called Marc is the bane of their lives, especially the one that's eight years old.
* Started doing IT support for librarians is a persistent feature as well.
"Christ, your library system is a piece of shit. Fuck, what kind of fucking MARC code is that?" - "But you're a computer guy, how do you know MARC?" - "Heh, I may know computers, but I'm also a shambrarian"

Shambray 

She is the epitome of elegance and charm. At the same time, you are savage, brutal and a total bad-ass to those who mess with you. You are the kind of girl everybody wants to have and at the same time terrified to mess with.

You have a facade that is enigmatic that lures everyone to you like a magnet does. But you are a hard catch!
Everyone either love shambray Or hate on her... Either way shes Bomb!

shambrae 

Shambrae is a creative, yet angered type of woman. She tends to dye her brighter colors in order to stand out. She is the kind of person who will threaten to kill you but not back it up.

She typically hates anyone who does not believe in the same shit she does (ex: Mormons, people who dress like her, ect).
Also when you ask her where she got an item of clothing from, she will tell you a fake store/location, followed by saying "It was the last one."
Me: Hey Shambrae! Where'd you get that shirt?
Shambrae: Boniqua's Boutique. It was the last one.

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.”
