Stands for "Version Originale Sous-Titrée en FRançais" which means "original version (i.e. not dubbed) with French subtitles".
Often added to video file names.

Sometimes you can also see "VOSTFrench", probably to make it clearer for non-Frenchmen.
Just "VOST" can also be used if it's clear that they're French subtitles (and not for example English subtitles which would be "VOSTA": "Version Originale Sous-Titrée en Anglais").

In French movie theaters usually only "VO" (original version) is written to say that the movie isn't dubbed, since it's obvious that there are French subtitles. This is opposed to movies in "VF" ("version française", French version) which are dubbed.

Being a vootard or vootarding describes the practice of acting like a retard on purpose, just for the simple fact of entertainment and self-amusement. Even though it is often about self-amusement, it is commonly done in a group of people, to share the amusement. Vootarding mostly takes place on the internet e.g. on Discord, Twitter, or any other platform where jokesters and memesters gather. The word's origin stems from a Magic Voodoo Cult centered around fun and jokesters.

Vootard can be used as a noun, verb, or even an adjective.
He's such a vootard always mocking people! (noun)
Man, I wish I was still in school, vootarding was way more fun back there. (verb)
He's such a vootardious degen! (adjective)

It is usually used as an exclamation.

Vootie originated in 1955 in a Mad Magazine parody where Dave Garroway's chimp (J. Fred Muggs - who also painted a cover for Mad) takes over the show. Instead of Dave's signoff, "Peace", the monkey said "Vootie". It was later used in 1996 as an exclamation in Star Control 3 by a race called the Xchagger.
We be answering YES! Hearty! We be thinking you'd be never asking! Vootie!

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.”
