To learn someone something real good. The people I don't like need this to happen to them because I think the right thoughts and they think the wrong ones.
Iam "My initial problem was that the people around me took it upon themselves to 'educate' me. I wasn't playing the game right and needed to be taught a lesson. It was subtle at first. I'd be out and about and I hear something say something to me that related to something I was recently talking about. I didn't think anything of it at first. A strange coincidence. How many times does that have to happen before a pattern has been established? At what point does the anecdotal become a statistical reality? I think it's the eyes. I have a rather distinct appearance so I'm not hard to recognize. But it's not a real education. It's this Orwellian facade. 'We know better than you' they say. 'What makes you think you know better than us?' they ask."

Hym "Well, Occam's razor for one. The simplest answer is more likely than not the correct one. So, maybe you're a moron and I do know better. If the depth of your intellect is as shallow as a piss-puddle then it doesn't take all that much to know better than you. Hahahahaha!"

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.”
