On GC a 'mindy' is a fail. Named after an infamous GC member famous for his fails. <ok>

Yer welcome.

However, I do think he should have said mindyesque, in which case he mindied himself.
Now you are just being STesk

I just took the time to look up 'charientism'.

Basically, charientism = banter

Who knew? Except Ponder, obviously.

Noun charientism (uncountable). (rhetoric, rare) A figure of speech wherein an insult is disguised as or softened by a jest.

Noun. (uncountable). (rhetoric) A figure of speech wherein a taunting expression is softened by a jest; an insult veiled in grace.

Well, there we have it. Charientism is a synonymous noun for banter.

All I need to know now is how to pronounce it.

Hard "C" or soft "C"? I suspect hard.

No, mindy is a meme.

Doing a mindy, being a mindy, mindying, mindyesque; are all synonymous to failure.

The meme was born at the expense of GC member "Mind The Step" who continuously failed at most things he said on GC. Instead of his full user name he got called mindy.

Simple as that.
