Slang for a guy who's, let's say, somewhat unendowed.

From "Hedwig and the Angry Inch", a very bizarre movie about a guy who has an operation to turn him into a woman, and it isn't entirely successful because the surgeon left an inch that was supposed to be excised, and Hedwig's reaction to this miscalculation, thus the title of the movie.
Hey, man check out Hedwig showerin' over there. That's totally LOL!

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.”
