Self-appointed Emperor of Canada, keeper of the mystic scrolls of heroin-addictedlogic, promoter of private prisons in Canada, destroyer of nations...STARTING WITH OUR OWN!
While telling the Canadian people that he does NOT support private prisons, Emperor Harperius Mandatorius Minimus is deliberately laying down all of the groundwork to make a Canadian prison-industrial complex a reality.
Building prisons without criminals to fill them, and then creating enough statutes to criminalize enough people to make those prisons profitable...despite the cost to Canada and it's people.
Mandatory tutorial. When a video game forces you through tutorial that cannot be skipped. Usually tedious and grueling.
Steve: Did you check out that latest free to play game?

Steve: Ugh, Mandatorial. No bueno...
(n. pl.) Human resources policy documents, non-disclosure agreements, sexual harassment prevention training, workplace safety manuals, corporate mission statements, and other information that employees are required to read on a regular basis, even though the information has little or no bearing on 1) the reality of the workplace, or 2) the actual job function the employees perform. Most mandatoria is at least two years out-of-date and were written by HR drones who were laid off a few years ago.
Dude, the orientation to our new corporate branding and strategic transformation initiative was so long that it took me three days just to read through all the mandatoria.

French slang, which translated, means "bull's fashion" but basically equates to "hyper trendy" or overly trendy. Used when a person wishes to express distaste at the latest fashion trend/fad, because it seems that everyone has a certain item of clothing or is wearing it. This term is most frequently heard in Paris but is slowly spreading to other parts of France.

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.”
Pajama casual is a term used when working from home and preparing for a video conference. All business above the waist and your pajama pants down below.
