toursomnia 

A form of insomnia that results from watching too much of Le Tour de France - specifically for those viewers in timezones far enough east & west of France for it to be televised through the night or early hours.

Similar side effects to regular insomnia, except that the sufferrer may have Phil Ligget's dulcet tones on their mind as they drift off to sleep, or perhaps dream of invading French castles in the war due to the mandatory historical brief given for every castle that is ridden past.
Joe: "So the wife and I are travelling through France next year"

Bob: "Nice"

Paul (practically asleep): "Be sure to check out the medieval castle from Stage 7 in Andelot-Morval, built in 1206 by Humbert III of Coligny ... (yawns) ... Well preserved and characteristic of the Middle Ages military architecture, which were .... zzzzzzzzzzz"

Joe: "WTF?"

Bob: "Toursomnia dude"

OR

Andy, sitting in traffic, sees a car indicate and pull into the faster lane. In his best Phil Ligget accent:
"Oh he's making a break! We were waiting for this! Now how is the peleton going to react?"

Wife, sitting next to him: "....... OK, no more Tour de France for you until you've had some sleep. You've got bad toursomnia babe. Now get out and let me drive."

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.”
