karangatang 

Kar•an•ga•tang; Pronunciation Key (car-angatang) .verb, n.

A fashion of running primarily used to evade car/people/forest creatures, popularized by a small group of bored teens in northern Virginia.

One does a karangatang by placing their arm behind their head as far as it goes and waving it franticly as if on fire, the other hand covers the crotch. This is paired with idiotic noises and a dead sprint. A highly effective way of escaping from a foe in hopes that they think the "karangatanger" is mentally unstable.

The intensity of the karangatang is directly proportional to the amount of alcohol consumed prior to attempting a karangatang.

brush my teeth with a bottle of Jack
Cause when I leave for the night, I ain’t coming back
I’m talking - pedicure on our toes, toes
Trying on all our clothes, clothes
Boys blowing up our phones, phones
Drop-toping, playing our favorite cds
Pulling up to the parties
Trying to get a little bit tipsy

Lose your mind.
Lose it now.
Lose your clothes
In the crowd.
We're delirious.
Tear it down
'Til the sun comes back around.

Got my drunk text on
There's a place I know
If you're looking for a show.
Where they go hardcore
And there's glitter on the floor.

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.
