When I saw "glory box", I thought of the word "trousseau", but that in turn made me think that I can't even remember when I last heard "trousseau". (None of our now-adult daughters seemed to have an interest in such a thing, though admittedly this could be a concept keyed to social class or something?)
“Balletcore" may not yet be in Urban Dictionary, but it’s been enshrined in the Aesthetics Wiki along with many other "-cores." AW dates it to early 2020s. https://aesthetics.fandom.com/wiki/Balletcore
Re: GIMP as "Canadian English for an injury-prone person or a person who feigns injury to get out of doing something." Yikes. As an Canadian, I've always considered "gimp" an offensive word for someone physically handicapped, and thus used only by an insensitive boor (for example, Donald Trump would call Dr. Stephen Hawking a "gimp"), so this new description feels alarming.
As you will have seen by clicking on the link, it is based on a Reddit post, so it's not exactly exhaustive lexical analysis! But I thought it was interesting, so wanted to make note of it.

Glad to hear from you anyway 😁🧐
A great selection, as always!
