duckin planks 

One of the results of playing the "name game" with the popular phrase "fuckin skanks" (from the My New Haircut video).

1. It can be used in place of "fuckin skanks" to reference anyone or anything that sucks or annoys you in the slightest way.
2. It can also be thought of as an image. I particularly enjoy picturing a guy running through a narrow alley with hundreds of people lining the rooftops and throwing 2x4's at him.
"The basalmic vinegar spilled all over our fridge again when the maintenance guy moved it to fix the outlet." "Ah, duckin planks."

"The halloween party was pretty cool, all the girls were dressed like duckin planks."

"Holy shit! I'm duckin planks!"

French slang, which translated, means "bull's fashion" but basically equates to "hyper trendy" or overly trendy. Used when a person wishes to express distaste at the latest fashion trend/fad, because it seems that everyone has a certain item of clothing or is wearing it. This term is most frequently heard in Paris but is slowly spreading to other parts of France.

Word of the Day on October 17, 2026
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.”
