1. "Bayshore" or "Bayside" in Japanese.
2. The name of the highway or route B in Tokyo, Japan used by a street racing club called MidNight Club in the 1990s as an illegal expressway racing course to use top speed challenges and street races. Located in the intersection of Route K11, K9 and K5 of the Shuto-Expressway.
The manga/anime Wangan Midnight is based on the Shuto-Expressways showing the races between Akio Asakura and Tatsuya Shima racing on the Bayshore route.

Games such as Shutokou Battle (Tokyo Xtreme Racer in the US) and Wangan Midnight including the arcade versions are also based on the Shuto-Expressway. The player can battle opponents on the Wangan in the SP battle or point to point races.

Wallace: Did you see the Akuma Zetto at the Wangan last night?
Me: No, what about it?
Wallace: The driver is fast. I bet you can't beat him with your IS350.
Me: Oh yeah? Just watch me and I'll prove that I'm the fastest in the Kanjou line.
Wallace: Your car won't do any good in the Wangan anyways, and yet, his car is lighter than yours.
Me: Aiya...

wangan by VR-4ever December 4, 2003
The art of getting onto highways in heavily modified vehicles and racing either endurance or certain length's. Extremly popular in Japan with one highway in a circle formation, where 500+ HP vehicles go out and tear up the highway all the time. Harder to do in America due to the police actualy caring about Street Racing.
Damn man, my bro in Japan boosted his Supra to 1000 and got 350 KM/H on his Wangan run, but the police helicopter always chases after me when I do it in New York!

Wangan Midnight: Maximum Tune

A street-racing game designed by Namco and released in 2004. The game involves racing at sports-car level speeds on the highways of Tokyo. Players can purchase cards similar to those of Initial D: Arcade Stage, which enable them to tune up their cars and save their game progress and personal top times.

Players race on courses upwards of 22 kilometers in length; in time attack mode, they can insert additional credits to play on a course that combines the game's four courses into a 60-kilometer super-highway. One particular course features the Wangan Line, a straight stretch of highway that goes on for about 6 kilometers.

The game is based off the manga "Wangan Midnight," which was produced from 1992 to 2005 and revolves around a high school student named Akio Asakura. He is the driver of the "Devil Z," a "haunted" and legendary racing vehicle.

This game is also known as simply Maximum Tune or WMMT.

<RPA> You mean that game that looks like Initial D?

fache-couture 

French slang, which translated, means "bull's fashion" but basically equates to "hyper trendy" or overly trendy. Used when a person wishes to express distaste at the latest fashion trend/fad, because it seems that everyone has a certain item of clothing or is wearing it. This term is most frequently heard in Paris but is slowly spreading to other parts of France.

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.”
