Curving
its like ghosting but more brutal, cause they wanna seem nice, maybe they take days, or even weeks, to reply to your last WhatsApp message.
But instead of leaving you hanging (Like a ghostwrited would ), a curver will reply, but their responses will be sporadic, closed off and often apologetic e.g. “I’m so sorry for not textin, I’ve just been really busy with insert predictable excuse here”.
Of course, they really might have been too occupied with work, family, friends, or the washing up to take a minute out of their day to message to you ....... or not

Glippy
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.
