Eheu
An exclamation of calamity, misfortune or bad karma. Derives from Latin exclamation ("eheu" literally translates as "Bummer!").
Likely to be the only word a student remembered from Latin class, at least in the days when students actually learned Latin rather than Media Studies and Modern Dance.
Popularised in Geoffrey Willans and Ronald Searle's classic "How to Be Topp":
"The Hogwarts
by Marcus Plautus Molesworthus
Sene One. The villa of Cotta at Rome. Enter CORTICUS a dreary old slave and RADIX his mate
CORTICUS:(laying a skin of wine at the sideboard) Eheu!
(The headmaster and all lat. masters who watch roar with larffter)
RADIX: Eheu!
(More larffter they are in stiches)
CORTICUS: Eheu!
RADIX: Eheu!
(The curtain falls as the masters rolle helplessly in the aisles.)"

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.
