A unique marketing predicament where a particular brand of a product becomes so common or dominant, its brand name becomes the generic term for the entire product category. Examples include Kleenex, Vaseline, Xerox, Windex and WD-40. Some trademarks have actually lost their legal protection in the U.S, including Aspirin, Thermos and zipper.
#1: "Hand me a Kleenex, would you please? I'm all stuffed up."
#2: "These are Puffs. Shouldn't you say 'facial tissue'?"
#1: "I just say Kleenex for all of them. The brand has committed genericide. Now just give me the damn Kleenex already, my nose is dripping!"
A person, typically an SJW, who places great importance on gender identity to the point where they believe it’s the only thing that identifies and validates them. They appear to want nothing more than to be viewed as normal and yet do everything they can to try to stand out at the same time for the sake of getting attention or special treatment.
They are usually seen in the comments section demonizing anyone who refuses to remember every gender pronoun in existence and telling anyone who outrightly refuses to believe in the notion of there being separate genders outside of male and female what horrible people they are.
Not to be confused with a transtrender.
Person 1: "Dude, the other day, I asked this random chick for the time and she literally started screeching at me about how bigoted I am for assuming her gender, even though she admitted to identifying as a girl with she and her pronouns.”
Person 2: "Wow, didn't think you'd run into a Genderite outside the internet."

This term is most frequently heard in Paris but is slowly spreading to other parts of France.

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.”
