Turbo-folk 

Turbo-folk is a style of music which is popular in the Balkan countries such as the former Yugoslav states, Romania and Bulgaria also known as Pop-folk . It is a mixture of Pop, traditional folk music, Roma/Gypsy music and oriental music.

Mainly sung in Serbian but the other former Yugoslav states have their own variations of turbo-folk too.

Performers: Dragana Mirković, Ceca, Lepa Brena, Jelena Karleuša, Vesna Zmijanac, Goga Sekulić, Viki Miljković and many more.

In the press turbo-folk can be seen by traditionalists as tacky, embarrassing and low quality music which to some people one can choose their own music of choice.
"I am not your wife tonight, this is not her bed, I am your live doll and your my sexy buisness man". That is an example of a Turbo-folk text.

turbo folk 

Turbo folk is a balkan style, first originated in serbia and meant to be only limited to the music but then grown to a whole movement in the social life of the balkans. The main traits of turbo folk are the following:
- lack of inteligence
- peasant origin (not really necessary)
- whore-type dress style (for women) and "big necklaces, cheap sport's wear, white socks and black shoes" (for men)
- mostly a background of "expensive" cars
- silicone....LOTS of silicone

In fact, the last years the turbo folk replaced the porno industry in the balkans. The women who would like to become a turbo folk singer/dancer should go through several tests of their sexual capacities. Just after being sleeping with 2 producers, 1 CEO, 2 high level criminals, 7 low level criminals, 4 shopassistants (generally in butcher's shop) and 12 neigbours they are titled "APPRENTICE"

In general to become a TURBO FOLK SINGER there is also an "lack of intelligence test" with those 3 questions:
1. 2+2=?
2. What is the first name of Bill Clinton
3. Name one river starting with "D" and finishing with "unav"

If you have more than one correct answer you are expelled for good from the TURBO FOLK society.

P.S. thank you Johny French and the Bulgarian community fighting chalga
Classic examples of turbo folk lyrics include:
-2-3 kapi krvi, dokaz da si mi bio prvi (2-3 drops of blood is proof that you were my first)
- kuca poso poso kuca sta da znam, nista ne znam (house work, work, house, what do i know, i don't know anything)
- trosi me ko bateriju (use me like a battery)

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.”
