A transaxle is just as the name implies; a combined transmission and axle assembly. It can be mounted in the rear of a front-engine/rear-wheel drive vehicle or in unit with the engine in front-drive vehicles. It can also be installed in unit with the engine in a rear/rear drive vehicle.
1960s Pontiac Tempest and many european racing cars used a front engine and rear transaxle. Most of today's smaller cars have the front-drive system. Volkswagen, Porsche, and others have used the rear/rear approach.

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.”
