Slang Jon Stewart often uses for the flu or common cold.
Based on the way he pronounces it (tongue-in-cheek Godfather character accent) it's probably the plural form of the Italian word 'bubbone,' a swollen lymph node characteristic of bubonic plague. It probably developed as slang for an infection because bubonic plague is so infectious. Stewart probably picked it up growing up in the NJ/NY area.
"I have the bubons again. It's the second time in three months. Let me say this to anybody out there with children at home: buy an autoclave."
These are hair follicles growing around the ring (aka “the pink quarters”) of the nipple. They can grow to disgusting lengths and despite folklore can grow on women’s boobies. It is not quite a boob, not quite your pubs but it’s your “bubes,” the name for your nipple hair.
Bobby: "Hey you really need to trim your bubes."
Jill: "Oh I know you like to get lost in my bubes."
The few sprouts of hair found on a woman's tit. Very rare, however in some cultures it is considered very sensual so much that women will put ro-gain on their papilla before they go to bed.
Tim: Nice Bubes
Sandy: Thanks, my family has a long line of women with bubes.
Tim: That's hot
Frenchslang, 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 Burberryscarf is so fache-couture.
2. That purple American Apparel hoodie is so fache-couture.
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, foodfeels optional.”
“That summer body? Yeah, glippy assisted.”
Pajama casual is a term used when working from home and preparing for a video conference. All business above the waist and your pajama pants down below.
We have a Zoom meeting in a few minutes and I’ll probably go pajama casual.
