An afternoon gathering where people set aside all other tasks for a few minutes to eat cake as a group. Complimentary cake is usually provided at a tarple. Tarple can be held in a work environment but typically a tarple cake pass is required in order to do so. The tarple cake pass requirement is thought by many to be an unnecessary policy that actually serves no purpose at all and it has also been known to ruin an entire tarple for everyone involved. People attending a tarple are usually responsible for providing their own fork and plate.
My job is so cool because we make sure to have a staff tarple as often as possible during the summer. The only downside to too many tarples is that they can make you tired.

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.
