The process of over-complicating a simple database design to within an inch of it's life. Typical knock on effects include :-
a) delaying project delivery dates by weeks/months
b) an oversized ego of the database designer who done the oraclising
c) general hatred towards the database designer who did the oraclising

All I wanted to do was add 5 values to a combo box but that jumped up DBA had to oraclise it.

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.”
