The Specials were one of the bands that defined two-tone ska music. They reached their peak in the late 70's/early 80's. Later in the 80's when they began to go downhill, three of the members left to launch their own band. The remaining members, including Jerry Dammer, went on to try and continue their career, but they weren't very successful. Some of their songs include Little Bitch and Too Much Too Young.

Look them up and listen to their songs because they are interesting.

specialshipping

A shipping from the Pokemon Adventures manga.
An extremely adorable shipping that includes Red(boy) and Yellow(girl).
These two are probably one of the sweetest couples you can find in fanfiction.

Hints in the manga:
Red saves Yellow from a Dratini in R/G/B and promises to her to be the gym leader
In the Yellow Arc, Yellow goes on a quest to find the missing(kidnapped) Red. She's very determined to find him.
Yellow becomes very embarassed when Red(not realizing Yellow was a girl) jokes that they should live together.
In the FRLG Arc, Yellow is thinking about Red, even while unconious.
Red carries Yellow (bridal style) while she is sleeping. (They are then frozen in stone in the same position for several months.
And there are smaller, ssubtle hints throughout the manga.
Their pikachus, Pika(Red's) and Chuchu(Yelow's) mated in the manga and had an egg. Pokemon are supposed to reflect the feelings of their trainers.

Also, this shipping was announced canon by the creators.

Mangapokeshippers are the only people who dare dislike Specialshipping.

Blue Movie

A pornographic film.

The use of the word "blue" to refer to sexually explicit content was first recorded in Scotland in 1824. "Blue" meant "lewd" because prostitutes dressed in blue gowns.

I found your stash of blue movies under your bed.

fache-couture

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.

1. That Burberry scarf is so fache-couture.
2. That purple American Apparel hoodie is so fache-couture.

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.

“I’m not dieting, I’m just on that glippy.”
“Ever since the glippy hit, food feels optional.”
“That summer body? Yeah, glippy assisted.”
