You ----------> Me
Behold! The Triangle of Conceptual Impetus. I act upon someone else. You use the act as the impetus to act upon me. To you, I'm 'someone else.' does you acting upon someone else (Me) give me the right to use that act as the impetus to, then, act on someone else? If no, how are you justified in using my action as the impetus to act upon me? If yes, how am I not justified in using your act as the impetus to act on someone else? And what is the initial impetus that cause me to act in the first place? Just a few things to consider..."

No. You're trying to frame my behavior as the impetus for your behavior... And if I applied that logic in reverse you wouldn't like it very much...
Hym "Like if I tried to use your present behavior as impetus for mouth-fucking your kids... I mean... In the past you did a thing I did like so it's logical for me to come in here with a shotgun and test my aim... Right? See, if you FRAME the impetus for your behavior AS my behavior (Past or present) then it's easier for you to deny yourself guilt or culpability for your own PRESENT behavior."

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.”
