ARF by ElonReyesDaw January 14, 2010
An abbreviation standing for Adolescent Rat Fart. Someone who is an ARF is annoying, EGOTISTICAL, loud-mouthed, short-tempered, immature, and speaks with an entitled, undeserved authority about subjects they know little to nothing about. They may or may not be prone to dressing in a ridiculous costume while doing so. They are likely to overstate their own abilities while downplaying the skills and accomplishments of others. If you encounter an ARF, your only hope is to run away as fast as you can, and pray they don't take chase.

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.
