The GUMS 

An imaginary aliment suffered occasional by office employees. Actually an acronym that stands for "gotta use my sick-time." Used to describe someone who calls in sick without actually being sick simply to use up sick time before it expires.
"Bob is out sick today? I hope it's nothing serious"
"Nah, I think he just has a case of The GUMS"

The Gums 

The act of one person almost solely carrying a conversation with another person. Often the "conversation" is more of a lecturing or complaining by the person talking.

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.”
