ampersand 

An ampersand is the symbol &, which was designed by German typesetter Manfred Johann Amper in 1634 as an abbreviation for the German word "und", which means "and" in English; hence the symbol was first known as "Amper's 'and' ", which was eventually syncopated into "ampersand", the term by which we know it today.
On a standard US keyboard the ampersand is on the same key as the numeral 7.

Her malformed pretzels looked like ampersands.

In formal symbolic logic the truth-functional connective AND is often represented by an ampersand.

Ampersand 

noun: the sign "&" (standing for the word 'and', as in "U & I")

“&” was actually part of the English alphabet. In the early 1800s, school children reciting their ABCs concluded the alphabet with the "&" coming after the letter 'Z'..........the alphabet was originally 27 characters long because '&' was an actual letter member.
But then Grammar Nazis decided "&" was not worthy of being in the alphabet, so they took it out (the same illogical mindset that decided Pluto was not a planet, but only a large asteroid.)
Ampersand, like Pluto were robbed of their identity!

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.

“Ever since the glippy hit, food feels optional.”
