A growing epidemic in the Western Hemisphere where people who wish to be taller add upwards of 1 to almost 5 inches to their genuine height to appear "taller" or "less short" to the general population or to conform to the expectations of what is considered "tall" in modern society.

This practice can most often be seen on Tinder dating profiles or in professional sport leagues such as the NBA(National Basketball Association).

Chase: "Yo, did you see Parker's new bio on Instagram? He just claimed 6' 3''. I swear he's not taller than 5' 10''.

Landry: "Don't worry, bro. He just suffers from heightflation."

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.

“I’m not dieting, I’m just on that glippy.”
“Ever since the glippy hit, food feels optional.”
“That summer body? Yeah, glippy assisted.”
