A form of discrimination, it is the negative reaction to the fear of what someone is saying in a language that is not understood, thus leading to anger against the speaker of another language, even if that language is native to the speaker.
In a recent incident related on the nativenewsnetwork website, a Menominee seventh grader was suspended from school for teaching a classmate how to say "I love you" in her native tongue. Her teacher, hearing but not understanding the child's native tongue, reacted by having her suspended from school. In discussing the incident, we decided the teacher was guilty of languagism.

Word of the Day on October 17, 2026
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.”
