An Alt-Bro is much like the Dave Matthews listening, sandal wearing Bro of the 90's, only wears tight pants, and only alternative music.

A rare lifestyle that combines some elements of being a bro (drinking beer, getting it in) with elements of being a hipster (listens to Bon Iver, stares out of windows while writing philosophy papers) with biddie moments mixed in (complains about not having enough boys' attention).
Friend 1: So these guys have been paying too much attention to me...
Friend 2: God you're such a biddie!
Friend 1: No! I'm not a biddie, I'm a bro! I like to drink beer in shower stalls and stuff like that.
Friend 2: "Cough Cough" Biddie
Friend 1: Whatever, I'm going to listen to some obscure bands while writing this paper about life and stuff. Afterwards I will go smoke and maybe reblog some upside down black and white photos.
Friend 2: Hipster!
Friend 1: I'm not a hipster or a biddie! I'm a bro!
Friend 2: Shut up biddie.
Friend 1: Guys, I am an alt bro.
Friend 2: Whatever, that's not even a real thing...
Friend 1: Time to go make out with some boys!

fache-couture 

French slang, which translated, means "bull's fashion" but basically equates to "hyper trendy" or overly trendy. Used when a person wishes to express distaste at the latest fashion trend/fad, because it seems that everyone has a certain item of clothing or is wearing it. This term is most frequently heard in Paris but is slowly spreading to other parts of France.

Word of the Day on October 17, 2026
A slang term for GLP-1 medications(like Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro, etc.), usually referring to their appetite-killing, weight-loss, or “I forgot to eat” effects rather than the medical details.

Usage:
* Often casual, ironic, or meme-y
* Can imply effortless weight loss, suppressed hunger, or being “powered by pharmaceuticals”

Notes:
Not a brand name—just shorthand for the whole GLP-1 wave. Frequently shows up in online jokes, gym talk, and group chats where people pretend they’re *totally* doing it naturally.
“I’m not dieting, I’m just on that glippy.”
“Ever since the glippy hit, food feels optional.”
“That summer body? Yeah, glippy assisted.”
