A popular photographic concept on Instagram, involving all shots and images in a purely monochromatic theme, using a black-and-white tone (hence the "mono", from "monochrome") to add contrast, perspective, and/r create an entirely new abstract concept to the capture. However, it isn't simply a "black-and-white" shot. It is intended to be used for greater artistic effect. Invented by a guy named Josh, from Singapore.
#monoart is taking over Instagram by storm. You can put "monoart" on anything to make any ordinary object seem more ideational.

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.”
