Imagine The Nerves 

"Imagine the nerves" is a quote from the Twitch streamer and YouTuber Acai. It is his most famous quote, and was created when Acai had difficulty FC-ing Soulless 4. This also affiliated Machinations A, Breaker Solo and Stepping Solo A and B as Clone Hero memes; often changing a song gradually into these sections. These songs would trick Acai into playing them, and the joke repeats. As of now, the quote is dead as Acai recently FC'd Soulless 4.
Acai: And then, right after that orange wall, right after the section I just played; you have this to worry about.
*Plays Machinations A*
Acai: And then it comes again.
*He is still playing Machinations A*
Acai: So, Imagine The Nerves, Imagine The Nerves; FC-ing past that. Okay. Machinations A. This is one-this is the first part uhhhm. That is most unlikely in an FC past Fatalism. I really do not see anyone ever FC-ing past Machinations A. Oh, but what if, what if somebody does? We can theorize that all we want. This little solo called Stepping Solo. Now, check this out.
*Plays Stepping Solo A and B to Breaker Solo*
Acai: Check out that transition. Look at this. Review! Review! We talked about Machinations A. Imagine FC-ing past that, and then having to wait getting to here.
*Plays Stepping Solo B*
Acai: ...Past Machinations.
*Plays Breaker Solo*
Acai: ...And having to deal with that too, y' know? Stepping Solo B, y' know, to Breaker Solo. That's uhhh not very possible to FC- up to, even. No-one will FC up to Stepping Solo B. The day they do, I'll give 'em- I'll give them 100 bucks. Straight up.

imagine complexly 

A term coined by John Green in his novel Paper Towns, and thus embraced by nerdfighters everywhere as a truly magical gesture of the miracle of human consciousness.

Imagining someone complexly is imagining them in the terms you might imagine yourself. Things you think about your person, such as dreams, histories, heartbreaks, epic loves, and deepest secrets, are also things you ponder about people you are imagining complexly.
As Leo watched people at the bus stop on a foggy London morning, he imagined the pixie-ish girl of about his age complexly, and suddenly felt he understood the wanderlust behind her sullen, deep set eyes.

Had he not imagined her complexly, his thought process could have probably been something a bit more like "She's probably tired. Kind of pretty, though..." and he would have moved on to the next commuter.

Always imagine complexly.

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.
