1. The name of Lucy's less psychotic alter ego in the splendid anime Elfen Lied. After Lucy is shot in the head with an anti-tank rifle she develops a childlike personality, and for the most part of the anime can only say the word "Nyuu". This single-word vocabulary leads the male lead (Kouta) to give her the name Nyuu.

2. A nonsense word in Japanese, though phonetically it sounds the same as the Japanese word for "Milk".

(Note: the Japanese equivalent of 'meow' is 'nya'. Due to the similar spellings, 'nyuu' is frequently mistaken for being synonymous with 'nya'. The two are not interchangeable.)
1. With a fantastic body, childlike kindness, and an oddly raging lebido, Nyuu is almost cute enough to make you forget that she spends her down time ripping peoples' arms out of their sockets.

2. Nyuu. Nyuu, Nyuu. Nyuu? Nyuu!

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.
