Gymflation 

A modern phenomena in which levels of fitness (weights lifted, body shape and size), are considered less and less impressive in 2025 than say in 2015. This leads to a rise of body dysmorphia, and an increasing amount of steroid use in younger populations.
Person 1: "My son just hit 135 on bench press! I'm so very proud of him."
Person 2: "Due to gymflation, that really isn't very impressive for a 16 year old."

Gayflation is the act of counting all kinds of other types of sexual preferences into the LGBTQ numbers in order to inflate how many people are actually in that "tribe."
