A 12 bit sampling drum machine with built in sequencer that preceded the more famous SP1200 by a few years. Made by E-mu. The SP12 had a total of 5-7 seconds of sampling time if it was a "Turbo" version, and around 2.5 seconds of sampling time for a standard version. Samples were saved and loaded from 5.25" floppy disks. Some of the channel outputs had fixed low-pass filters assigned to them and the tone of the 12 bit sounds plus the filters gave rhythm tracks a warm signature sound. The "swing" function of the sequencer was also a popular feature. The SP12, unlike the SP1200, had a set of factory sounds similar in nature to other drum machine sounds of the mid-80's era machines (TR-808, TR-909, etc.).

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.”
