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:

* Can imply effortless weight loss, suppressed hunger, or being “powered by pharmaceuticals”
