increasingly verbose meme
A type of multi-frame image in which a lackluster or overused meme is replicated with poorer graphical fidelity but increased verbosity successive times to the point where it is difficult to understand the meme without the original context. Also called 'meme corruption' or 'progressively verbose meme'.
Captions of an increasingly verbose meme:
Frame 1: It's high noon
Frame 2: The time is 12pm.
Frame 3: The grandfather clock currently displays a reading of twelve o'clock post meridian.
Frame 4: It has become increasingly apparent to me that due to the rotation of Earth relative to the Sun, the current "time" as defined by Ancient Egyptians via the decan system is denoted by the numerical value "twelve" of the clock, signalling that the Sun is at the highest point in the sky.

verbose
Verbosity is the ability, limited in the general population, to utilize words which may be archaic, lengthy, and in the English language are more often than not based in Latin. Quite often, the phrases used in such a manner are synonymous with much more succinct forms. In addition to the expansive vocabulary utilized, prose which is deemed 'verbose' will quite often feature parenthetical phrases in unusual frequency, as might be found in scientific journals or university textbooks. Though accepted in academic contexts for its ability to explain, in great detail, concepts which may seem rather complex to the average layperson, the overuse of excessive verbosity will often cause common folk, especially those who might be afflicted with the neurological disorder known as Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD), to lose interest in the concepts being explained, and thus the knowledge they might gain would be lost to them. Moderation, therefore, is the key to the proper usage of verbosity.

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.
