a poor waif in his underwear
A pro-Russian journalist or Russian/Kremlin official who attempts to pass off fake quotes as real things said by government or military officials in Western countries but are clearly fake due to translated Russian phrases, strange wording, words being used in strange or unnatural ways, etc.
The phrase comes from an article written by Seymour Kersh, a pro-Russian journalist. In the article, he claimed an anonymous American official called President Zelenskyy of Ukraine 'a poor waif in his underwear'. However, the term 'waif' is extremely uncommon in American English, and the whole phrase was a Russian meme until the publishing of the article.

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.
