When you are in Thailand and you are blasted with a rush of strong wind. The strong wind 'Thaihoon' came from a speeding Thai driving a car at excessive speed and blasting out horrendous pop music.
Brendan; Oh man, I was bowled over by a Thaihoon recently in Bangkok!!! It was like a Typhoon. It came out of nowhere and when it was gone my clothes were schreded and my hat was missing!!!
Ashley; I know what your talking about. I was in Pattaya and I got hit by a Thaihoon too. I was left dazed and confused. My ears were ringing to the theme of Lady Gaga. I will never go to Thailand ever again!!!!
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.”
