isogressive 

1) A form of change which cannot be characterized as either "progressive" or "regressive," yet still constitutes a definite change in state.
2) A word used in academia to mean "staying the same" while sounding smart.
3) Change which does not proceed in a direction along a some ladder or hierarchy, but stays within the same bracket, rung, or level, while still definitely changing. Characteristic of a range of changes that could move up or down a progression, but instead moves sideways.
1) "While in former times we believed society to either morally regress into meaner and more privative states, or to progress into ever loftier levels of development — today we realize that the morals of civilization are largely isomorphic with those of previous societies and therefore we move only isogressively.

2) "Who I am today is neither better nor worse than who I was a year ago, my changes are only isogressive, and I have not progressed at all in life.

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.”
