schmear maxxing

The act of fully leaning into being terrible — deliberately or helplessly maximizing bad behavior, poor performance, or disruptive energy. Shitter maxxing is when someone stops fighting their worst tendencies and instead goes all-in on them.

Grimy maxxing is the full optimization of sketchy behavior — someone who has stopped dabbling in griminess and committed to maximizing their output. Every move is calculated to benefit themselves at others' expense. Every friendship is leverage. Every favor is an invoice. Grimy maxxing isn't just being dishonest; it's treating dishonesty as a discipline with goals and progress metrics. It's darkly funny when described from the outside, significantly less funny when you're the target.

The act of deliberately and systematically behaving as rudely or aggressively as possible, often as a strategy to dominate social situations, get one's way, or repel unwanted interactions. Sometimes used ironically about someone who seems to take pride in being difficult.

The act of maximizing one's autonomous hustle and self-directed productivity to an almost obsessive degree, often implying someone is doing everything themselves, delegating nothing, and operating like a one-person operation. Can be used admiringly for elite self-starters or mockingly for people who refuse to ask for help.

The deliberate or unconscious process of maximizing one's devotion to a person — watching every interview, consuming all content, defending every action, becoming the most glazed version of yourself possible. Glazed maxxing is often retrospectively recognized. You realize you are doing it when you start correcting strangers on the internet about your fave's childhood.
