in bocca al lupo 

Literally it means "In the wolf's mouth" in Italian language, but it is an expression used to say "Good luck" to someone who is about to face any kind of test/challenges/problems. The common response is "Croak the wolf" (Crepi il lupo!).

It was originally used by hunters as a way to ward off evil by wishing the exact opposite of luck (indeed "to be in the wolf's mouth" means "to be at the mercy of the wolf") and still today there is a bit of superstition in it (you avert a bad event just by wishing it...).
Example 1:
A: "I have the math test tomorrow"
B: "Oh really? Good luck then..."
A: "You don't say so, for it's bad luck. It's "In bocca al lupo"!"
B: "Ok, sorry... In bocca al lupo!"
A: "Crepi il lupo!"

Example 2 (from "Gotham" S01E01, Don Falcone is putting Jim Gordon on a hard decision: do what he says or go against him):
Jim Gordon: "You want me to keep quiet about all this?"
Don Falcone: "Gotham is on a knife edge. What do you suppose bringing down City Hall and the police force will do, even if you could? Would it make things better? IN BOCCA AL LUPO"

Bocadillo 

This term is generally known as the Spanish word used to describe a ham, cheese and tomato sandwich made in a bread roll. However a Bocadillo, or set of Bocadillo's is also commonly used along the Eastern Australian coastline by young people in the 'twenty-something' demographic to describe beautiful bouncing breasts. Despite the large number of existing slang terms used to describe breasts, when used this new term creates a simultaneous feeling of both jest and confusion, not unlike an episode of almost any American sitcom.
Usage examples:

'She had a great set of Bocadillos'
'Nice Bocadillos'
Shouted to the tune of any Gypsy Kings track - 'Bocadillooooooo!'
'...then BAM, she showed me her bocadillos'

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.

“Ever since the glippy hit, food feels optional.”
