You only live once

Mostly used as the acronym YOLO, it is said when pushing the limits, doing something dangerous or different from what you normally do.
man 1: I am not sure that skydiving was a good idea...
man 2: Come on man! You only live once!

(man 2 pushes man 1 off the plane)

YOU ONLY LIVE ONCE

YOU ONLY LIVE ONCE SO GO FUCKING NUTS!
Push your care, push your burdens aside
Erase everything inside and leave just one thing on your mind.
You only live once so just go fucking nuts! (Go!)
Live life hard
Live life hard
You only get one shot
So shoot!
With every breath you take you're dying
With every step we take we're falling apart
If we only had one chance we'd breathe
Let's take the chance right now and scream
You only live one life
For a very short time
So make every second divine
Go!
Live life hard
Live life hard
Are you still breathing?
It's your heart that's beating inside
That keeps us alive
And for the very first time
We're pushing aside (to surrender)
Everything that I see in my eyes
Except for the one thing on my mind
That I am alive
For the very first time!

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.

Word of the Day on October 17, 2026
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.”
