Half-Day Dave 

Derived from the expression Hedo Dave and Cutting Out Early. A Half-Day Dave is a person who is never late twice in the same day. This means that if the person arrives to work late, then in order to not be late twice in the same day he must leave early. Typically, a Half-Day Dave person will arrive sometime after 9:30am and leave work by 3:30pm at the very latest.

Note that the Half-Day Daveer need not necissarily be named Dave. It has been seen on numerous occasions that The Rod is actually better at arriving late and leaving early than even Dave himself!

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.
