Charon

Charon, in Greek mythology, is the ferryman of the dead. The souls of the deceased are brought to him by Hermes, and Charon ferries them across the river Acheron. He only accepts the dead which are buried or burned with the proper rites, and if they pay him an obolus (coin) for their passage. For that reason a corpse had always an obolus placed under the tongue. Those who cannot afford the passage, or are not admitted by Charon, are doomed to wander on the banks of the Styx for a hundred years.

Charon ferries the dead across the river Acheron not the river Styx.

Sitting Chaperone

intentionally or unintentionally sitting between a couple or people who are looking to make a play for each other.

I got to the restaurant and just down at the first seat, i didn't realise that Geoff was going to sit there and I ended up sitting chaperone all night with Geoff giving me the evil eye all night.

Social Chaperone

This is identified as an adult who essentially baby sits another adult to keep them from embarassing themself, their family, and their friends, in public settings. This person might be in charge of limiting drinks, drugs, and flirtatious activity. This person should not be confused with a HATER as they are doing it for the benefit of said person!

Person 1: Man, Tishsa got straight WASTED for her party and doesn't remember a THING about what happened. Person 2: Well, clearly she needed a Social Chaperone but since the rest of her friends were wasted, too, she was on her own!!!
