Big Media's new favorite clickbait headliner word for already fixed and/or easily fixable software-only issues that require no action or knowledge on the owner's part to be "fixed." Only applies to Teslas because legacy auto has already bought and paid for the media. Also doesn't apply to every computer or smart phone ever made even though it's the exact same update process.

As long as you're Big Media, you're talking about Tesla, it's an easily fixable issue, and, especially if it's already fixed in a previous software update, then it's a recall. Else it's not news worthy (i.e. not a recall).
Big Media Headline: TESLA RECALLS ALL OF ITS VEHICLES TO ADD AN OPTIONAL CHIME.

Translation: "This over-the-air software update was already sent out to the entire fleet but we just learned about it and need to get money get paid. So this is NEWS and it's a RECALL, ok?"

I don't recall

A rather poor safety net that is often used by the guilty when they testify before congress. The degree to which the testifier uses this phrase often indicates how much they have to hide. This phrase was recently made famous by Alberto Gonzales when he testified in April of 2007.
Alberto Gonzales used the old "I don't recall" trick 71 times when he testified before congress the other day. That means he's really guilty or really stupid. Most likely both.

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.”
