Pundustry was coined by Gene Weingarten in his article 'Cruel and Usual Punishment' on 23 March 2008 for washingtonpost.com.
As Weingarten said:
Print journalism is famously dying; everyone knows it. Reports of its imminent demise are everywhere, and serious reservations exist as to whether the potentates of ink can stay financially afloat by converting to an all-pixel format. If they cannot, it will be bad news for the pundit industry, or pundustry. (This is a word I just coined. As I write this, "pundustry" returned no Google hits. By next month it will generate hundreds. The pundustry will see to it.)

SINDUSTRY
noun
sin + industry = sindustry
A playful slang term for any business, profession, market, or money-making world built around things society traditionally labels “sinful,” scandalous, naughty, taboo, provocative, or morally questionable.
Most commonly used for industries involving adult entertainment, nightlife, sex work, strip clubs, erotic content, gambling, partying, vice, or other businesses that polite society loves to judge while quietly spending billions of dollars on them.
Basically: an industry powered by temptation.
The term can be humorous, sarcastic, self-aware, or proudly reclaimed by people working in industries that society profits from, consumes heavily, and then pretends to be shocked by.

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.
