shrodingers closet 

Short hand for explaining your status of being "out" as a member of the LGBTQ+ Community.
When you are out to many people in your personal life but not "officially" out
Person you are out to: I thought you were out? Everyone we know, knows you are đź’…

You: I'm out but I'm not, I have a giant pride flag in my dorm room and I'm fine with people assuming and I'm out to most of our (nonhomophobic) friends but if people ask and I don't know where they stand I would actively deny it because of fear of consequences. I call it "shrodingers closet"

Aka:

Iykykđź’…

Schrödinger’s Closet 

When your out to most people, but retain enough plausible deniability for when the conservative relatives come for thanksgiving
Bro, are you out to your family yet?
Kind of, but it’s more of a Schrödinger’s closet situation.

Schrödinger’s Closet 

When your out to most people but have enough plausible deniability to stay out of deep shit when the conservative relatives come for Thanksgiving
I’m out to most people but not parts of my family.
That’s called Schrödinger’s Closet

Schrödinger's Closet 

The act of a LGBTQ+ community member of coming.
The Schrödinger part is if the others act homophobic, the LGBTQ+ member can say it was a joke.
Person 1: Hey, how do I come out to my friends?
Person 2: Pull off a Schrödinger's Closet, works even better during April's Fools Day

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.”
