Tegenhanger 

an existential double of a living person;

like doppelgänger, but in existence not appearance;

a person who is uncannily similar in terms of interest, behaviour and existence in general to you, to the point where it's scary but somehow epic simultaneously.

origin - Dutch translation of "counterpart"
DUDE! I Just spoke to this guy/girl, he's/she's exactly like me!

like a doppelgänger?

No, even better, a tegenhanger. Looks very different, but thinks and behaves exactly the same!

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.

“Ever since the glippy hit, food feels optional.”
