Detournement 

A term coined by Guy Debord and the Situationist International (SI) movement of the 1960's, Detournement is usually translated into English as ‘diversion’ and was the method of artistic creation used by the situationists. It was, in effect, plagiarism where both the source and the meaning of the original work was subverted to create a new work. In the SI’s own words "there is no Situationist art, only Situationist uses of art." Detournement is distinct from ‘theft’ plagiarism, which only subverts the source of the material and post-modern ‘ironic quotation’ plagiarism which only subverts the meaning of the material, the source becoming the meaning. The SI used detournement in films, art, graphics for their journal and in posters that detourned comics during the events of the Paris uprising of May ’68. Many Situationist ideas became 'popularised' further through the British Punk Rock explosion of the 1970's. As a movement it cast a lengthy shadow over subsequent developments in music, inspiring furious unresolved debates among hapless commentators over it's real legacy.
Detournement can be witnessed first hand on fortnightly Saturdays at The Joint, West Street, Brighton, UK. 10pm-2am. Inept smart-arse DJs play any record alluding to a Punk Rock aesthetic or vague notions of 'Outsider' chic.

Djournie 

Djournie is a name I'm pretty sure not a lot of people have, but I think Djournie's have a hard time talking about their problems in real life then online, it is hard for them to speak their mind since they are so kind and don't like hurting people's feelings, they are thoughtful but sometimes speak to much where they don't know when to stop, they sometimes hate their apprence but other times they don't, they try hard to fit in every group they are in, and they hang out with the first friend they made from either school or work, they love their family more than the world and they can easily pull a person and fall in love easily, They even like a person who is sometimes mean, bad things about them is that if you separate for a long time they might not remember but if you tell them you're name and when you guys were together they will continue on like no separation happened, . Djournie is a hard person to understand since they don't know what to do, they break down whenever and randomly so if you're friends with a Djournie, be happy they are loyal and know when a person is bad and will do whatever they can for you.

fache-couture 

French slang, which translated, means "bull's fashion" but basically equates to "hyper trendy" or overly trendy.

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.
