Shotgun shine
This is an expression related to the blueing of a gun - specifically a high-end shotgun. In the South especially, a finer shotgun would have a "blueing" or a "blue" of the steel that was accomplished by way of the quality of the steel and the effort of the person who owned the gun polishing it. "Shotgun shine" is a simplification/symbolism of this concept and a way of saying that a person has a killer instinct; however attractive they may be. It's not necessarily a positive expression, and surprising that in the nearly 25 years since Alabama 3 used it, and since the Sopranos used it in this manner exactly, that no one else has put it on Urban Dictionary.
It's a shame about little Johnny Sack - he's got such potential in real estate, but also that shotgun shine.

True Canadian Shotgun
A True Canadian Shotgun (TCS) is the best pick-me-up for any time of the day. Although this shot gun uses Tim Hortons coffee instead of beer there is still some alcohol involved. A TCS is made up of three liquids: Tims coffee in a Tims to-go cup (as mentioned before), Canadian maple syrup, and Canadian rye whisky (preferably Crown Royal).
To do a TCS you first make sure the lid to your coffee is on well, then flip the cup upside down and poke a hole into the cup, just like you would if you were shotgunning normally. Then add a shot of whisky to the coffee and shotgun away. After you have shotgunned the coffee and whisky mixture use Maple Syrup as a chaser.
A good drinking game to play is whenever you see a moose you have to do a True Canadian Shotgun. (Best played when in Newfoundland)

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.
