Knipple
A coat hanger modified for the activity of knippling, or the activity itself. To make a knipple, one takes a wire metal coat hanger and flexes it down from the bottom metal bar so that the entire coat hanger assumes a more or less square or diamond shape. This is then inverted and dangled from the index finger so that the hook of the hanger is at the bottom and pointing up. A penny is balanced on the inverted hook. The penny side with the Lincoln Memorial on it has a central indentation to balance the penny. Next, in a smooth yet quick and continuous motion using the muscle power of the arm holding the knipple, one begins spinning the knipple so that centrifugal force prevents the penny from flying off . One gradually elevates the spinning knipple and changes its angle so that the knippler (the person doing this) is rapidly spinning the knipple horizontally, with his arm held up to elevate the knipple above the head. A way to compete is to see who can go the longest without losing the knip (the penny). A proper knippling ends with a dismount: The player gradually brings his knipple down to its original vertical position and gradually slows its rate of spin. One brings the knipple to a complete stop without losing the knip. Then, with a slight jerk, the penny is dislodged and falls into the player's waiting hand.

kipple
Kipple is a word coined by the remarkable science fiction writer Philip K. Dick. It refers to the sinister type of rubbish which simply builds up without any human intervention. Eventually, one day, the entire world will have moved to a state of kipplization.
From Phil Dick's "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?"
JR - Kipple is useless objects, like junk mail or match folders after you use the last match or gum wrappers of yesterday's homeopape. When nobody's around, kipple reproduces itself. For instance, if you go to bed leaving any kipple around your apartment, when you wake up the next morning there's twice as much of it. It always gets more and more.
Pris- I see.
JR - There's the First Law of Kipple, "Kipple drives out nonkipple." Like Gresham's law about bad money. And in these apartments there's been nobody there to fight the kipple.
Pris - So it has taken over completely. Now I understand.
JR - Your place, here, this apartment you've picked - it's too kipple-ized to live in. We can roll the kipple-factor back; we can do like I said, raid the other apartments. But -
Pris - But what?
JR - We can't win.
Pris - Why not?
JR - No one can win against kipple, except temporarily and maybe in one spot, like in my apartment I've sort of created a stasis between the pressure of kipple and nonkipple, for the time being. But eventually I'll die or go away, and then the kipple will again take over. It's a universal principle operating throughout the universe; the entire universe is moving toward a final state of total, absolute kippleization.

Glippy
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.
