TC Syndrome 

Named for the original case TC Syndrome is a condition where a lacrosse player, usually a middie, finds himself unable to score in a season despite receiving quality opportunities. It is often associated with bad luck and the player adjusting to a mostly defensive role. TC Syndrome is "cured" when the player finally scores. The initial goal is always followed by another in the same game, which will go on to be a victory. The goals are often of some significance, being scored in a close game or the final game of the season
After suffering from TC Syndrome all season, Sean Castle finally scored his two goals in the last game of the year.

After resigning himself to a D-middie role, Tanner Worth cured his TC Syndrome by scoring a pair of goals in what would be an overtime victory.

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:

* 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.
