Take an employee/coworker away from their work to attend a meeting without notice, usually by coercion and/or authority, sometimes with a promise of food (which will not materialize or fall far short of such promises), often specifically to "throw them under the bus" i.e. make the person a scapegoat.
I was just worknapped by my boss' boss for a two-hour meeting I didn't know about, but at least he said we'd have lunch. Then near the end, he said "well, food will be here in 20, we should probably switch topics to *whatever* and dismiss *names, including mine*. Thanks for your help."

My next door neighbor Shaniqua must be a workaphobe. She just keeps punching out kids & collecting her welfare checks from her mailbox. $100 says she hasn't seen a timeclock since she worked at Mickey D's when she was in high school.

She does not have a compulsive and irresistible urge for work and is definitely not a workaholic. But, she is absolutely committed to her work, deeply loves what she does, and is an inspiration for her coworkers. I would call her a workaphilic.

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.

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.”
