the colonies 

Somewhat archaic/patronising yet affectionate term used in the UK for the white dominions of Australia, Canada, New Zealand.

I want Australia to do well at the world cup - you've got to support the colonies haven't you?

selling out the colonies 

euphemistic expression indicating any decadent behavior (from Battlestar Galactica's Gaius Baltar)

Q. What have you been up to?
A. Oh, the usual: traveling the world, having meaningless sex with strangers, partaking of champagne and baby seal every night and otherwise selling out the colonies...

Colonising the conversation 

When a headstrong person (often a Caucasian male) doesn’t listen to others, takes over a discussion and makes it difficult for others to contribute and actually be part of the conversation.

Person 1: Man… I couldn’t get a word in that meeting.
Person 2: Yeah, Steven was totally colonising the conversation

Grindset

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.”

Cheeks 

An Irish phrase meaning shit, derived from ass
(Not to be confused with the literal description of one's buttocks)

"Did you hear the song Aylek$ dropped?"
"Hardly. Her music is absolute cheeks."

"My boyfriend say LaFlame is cheeks."
"Tell your boyfriend I said it's his mixtape that's cheeks."
