The Paralyzing Hold 

A move used in BDSM pornographic videos, B-list horror movies, and sometimes other cases involving a hostage. The hold renders the victim completely immobile and helpless. She (it's always a she) will make little or no attempt to break free and will allow herself to be bound, killed, or led around by the captor.
The patient was fucked by the doctor after he used The Paralyzing Hold on her.

The serial killer used The Paralyzing Hold on the female teenager to easily kill her.

The hostage, as she was subdued by The Paralyzing Hold, watched helplessly as her captor fired at the hero.

Paralining 

A sport in which a trampoline floats towards the ground at 20,000 feet, suspended by four or more parachutes, and a skydiver jumps up and down on the trampoline without his parachute deployed. When the trampoline gets low enough, the skydiver jumps off and deploys his parachute for a safe landing.

Parachuting + Trampolining = Paralining

Paragliding 

Paragliding is the use of a paraglider; that is, the activity of using the three-part gliding kite (wing, lines, resistive assembly). Paragliding may be done with unmanned or manned resistive assembly. Scale modelers and special mission paragliding may use tiny paragliders without man or woman aboard. Industrial paragliding may use smart remote-controlled or programmed robots to control the paraglider; such paragliding fulfills missions like photography, goods delivery, personnel placement, etc. The wing may fit purpose and mission and be fully limp or fully solid or semi-solid with as much rigid structure as needed for success of mission. Sport paragliding may define private classes of wing types, but that does not rule what is possible with machine paraglider. A solid and fully rigid wing may supply paraglider for specialized paragliding.
Scale modelers do scale-modelling paragliding with small paragliders; this is done in several variations. One variation is a toss and slope soar model with radio-control of devices on the paraglider, perhaps the resistive subassembly has aerodynamic surfaces; or a control unit works the lengths of the kite lines in the free-flight.

Large-scale industrial paragliding includes the use of large paragliders that feature resistive subassemblies holding fuel or goods.

No Surprises Wedding

A "No Surprises Wedding," or NSW, is a wedding invitation designation that tells attendees that there can be no unplanned announcements, engagements, events or speeches at the wedding - all actions must be pre-approved by the couple. Anyone who performs an unapproved "surprise" will be asked to leave the wedding early.

This designation comes from Reddit, where so many stories of bad wedding behavior indicated a need to communicate expectations for the wedding behavior of attendees.
You are cordially invited to the nuptials of Brian and Tom on October 31 at noon.

Please note that this wedding is child-free (under 10) and a No Surprises Wedding (NSW). Reach out to wedding planner Sami Smith to request approvals or exceptions; please note that exceptions will be rare. Limited child care for under-10s will be available. All approvals will be noted and included in planning. Unapproved, or surprise exceptions, will result in guests being asked to leave.

Person A: "That scene was a direct homage to an unreleased 1982 Japanese indie film."
Person B: "Wow, EBK."

Texas is categorized as a swing state in presidential elections, but has voted for Republicans more times than for Democrats in recent history. As such, as demographics change political alignments, some Democrats believe that Texas will vote blue, or Democratic, due to their Hispanic and African American voters, who often align themselves with the Democratic Party's liberal wing.

Blexas has been cited as possible in the upcoming decades, but only if Democrats continue to win the Hispanic vote in bigger margins.
Democrat 1: What is your prediction for the 2024 presidential election?
Democrat 2: Well uh, Blexas!
Democrat 1: You've been saying that since 2008 though.

Brought to public attention by Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein in the book on the fall of Richard Nixon, All The President’s Men, ratfucker was Nixon’s term for a political operative who sows chaos among opponents; an agent provocateur. It is thought to have originated among campus political rivalries at USC, and seems to have some usage in the US military.
Along with Nixon’s other ratfuckers, Roger Stone caused fights at otherwise peaceful Democratic Party protests to generate a false narrative that the Democrats were violent and dangerous.
