Harrington Park

Harrington Park is a small, upper-middle class town in New Jersey with smart people. The people are usually nice and innocent. Most people are able to afford a bigger house but decide not to waste a lot of money so they buy modest homes. Activities comprise of going to the town pool (only in the summer), going to "downtown" (Jerry's, Prestos, etc.), the random nail salon, and wandering Beechwoods if you feel adventurous. Walking aimlessly around town during the weekend is common. The school is very good and prepares kids (for the most part) for high school. It is also one of the safest towns in Bergen County. The taxes here are unbelievably high because of lack of businesses in this town. It's a boring town, yet at the same time it's a great town.

George: Oh yeah, she's going to Yale!
Bob: Smart Harrington Park people...

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.

“Ever since the glippy hit, food feels optional.”
