delaneyism
A particular way of speaking where words are often replaced with other words that are close to the original but make little sense to most people who haven't been around someone who speaks like that enough to finally understand. Replacement words are often modified versions of actual words or sarcastic replacements that mock the usual commonly known way of expressing the sentiment. Delaneyism may also invoove metaphors that are kinda just out there and a touch overboard.
Well there's a delaneyism if I ever heard one. I get what you're trying to say but ugh the way you're saying that is definitely a delaneyism.

Deletism
n. the specific elitism in which the party exhibiting such arrogance attempts to insult a social networking friend (like on Facebook or twitter) by posting an insult on the given friend's page followed by the proclaimation, "I am now going to defriend you!" or "I shall now unfollow you!" Important: the party exhibiting delitism values his own opinion above all else and intern sees his rejection as the ultimate way to insult another. Alas, as this is bizarre and irrational, the Deletist often becomes the butt of many a joke.

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.
