The act of wearing clear, unassuming, reading-style glasses when they are not necessary for sight or fashion, but as a disguise in public situations. The phrase is based on the DC comics superhero Clark Kent/Superman who masks his secret identity with a combination of glasses (e.g. perceived weakness) and the facade of a bumbling personality.
Yesterday I caught John kenting downtown near his homicidal ex-girlfriend's place of employment; I did a double-take since I had never seen him wear glasses before.

kenavinit 

Abbreviation from the phrase 'Fucking having it'

As used by Chris Liberator in the 1997 tune titled 'avin it ere':
"I read the other day that techno was dead. Dunno what party they were at, cause it's fuckin' 'avin' it 'ere!"

When this classic British phrase was adopted by Australians (Strayans), a people who prefer that their language is less formal/cumbersome, it was accordingly refined to the more simplistic: 'kenavinit'.

To the untrained eye (probably French) it may appear that Ken is the only one 'avin it (i.e. "Who is Ken and where is he 'avin it?"), but in fact it can be used by anyone of any name to describe their own situation, as well as to describe groups of revelers who are collectively 'avin it (called Ken or otherwise).

'Kenavinit' is always spelt with an 'i' rather than an 'e', just as you would never say 'kin oath'. If required, please consult a friendly Strayan for further clarification.

Kenan is the best friend you’ll ever have, he cares so much about everyone around him and tries his best to make sure everyone around him is happy. Some would say he cares too much, as him caring about others has caused him to have many internal issues. He often doubts himself and believes the worst in himself, but believes the best in others.
Friend 1: Kenan helps me so much with my problems.
Friend 2: Yeah, but I wish there was a way we could help him for once.

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.”
