Mankees are native New Yorkers who have an incoherent sense of importance and ability. They believe that they are the reason why New York City is a great place, even though they haven't made any actual contributions to it. They usually have never left The 5 Boroughs but have a strong opinion that nowhere else is better than New York. They usually think that they are the toughest and smartest people in the room 99.9% of the time. Not specific to any particular demographic, as they come in all shapes, sizes, socioeconomic backgrounds, genders, ages, and races. It is a portmanteau of the words Monkey and Yankee.
One time a chick at the bar told me she could tell that I'm not from New York, and I said thank god because the last thing I want to do is be associated or confused with Mankees. Because we all know Mankees are delusional AF!

a Minke is one of the sweetest people on the planet and RADIATES happiness. She for some reason can NEVER stop laughing, and it's contagious too :). Hang out with her for ten minutes and you'll have about ten inside jokes. Quite popular, and though she doesn't believe it she DEFINITELY gives off 'main character vibes'.
Damn I think I'm in love with Minke.

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.”
