An arrestable offence in Espanola, NM; one is said to be talking smack when using Mexican expletives in reference to the small-mindedness, arrogance and stupidity of police officers. Punishable by death in some South American and Middle Eastern countries, it is only enforced in the USA in Espanola, NM and Bumfukk, GA.
"Hey ma, come pick me up, this "coolon" (spelling?) is harrasing me". This is an example of talking smack on the phone while an officer of the law is staring you down.
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.”
