Verb. (abdoption, abdopted, abdopting) Refers to the practise of acquiring an animal (usually a cat) by feeding and housing it, and then partially assuming ownership even though it clearly is domestic and had a previous owner. Often in an abdoption, the new self-proclaimed 'owners' are reluctant to take the cat to a vet clinic to check for a microchip or to put up missing pet flyers.
"My cat Fred is adorable! He just loves his jelly meat!"
"He's not your cat, you abdopted him."

Adoptoraptor 

A person who adopts a child for his/her own selfish needs.

Adoptoraptors are known to adopt children from overseas because they never want the child to be able to find his/her biological parents. The adopted child's biological history, ethncity, and culture are irrelevant to an adoptoraptor because the child's needs are not what is important.

Adoptoraptors who adopt within their own country use their money to pay off corrupt adoption agencies that facilitate adoptions where the fathers are never informed that they have a child and their rights are stripped. The agencies they use coerce women in "crisis" pregnancies to give up their children to the adoption machine so that they can be sold to adoptoraptors.

Adoptoraptors do not want their child to ever know his/her biological parents or family. They support immoral legislation that seals an adoptee's original birth certificate and replaces it with a falsified amended one listing the adopted parents as the biological parents.

Adoptoraptors like to frequent adoptee blogs where they can belittle adopted persons for fun. They like to label adoptees as "angry", "angsty", "ungrateful", etc. for wanting to know their biological histories.
Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt are adoptoraptors. Madonna is an adoptoraptor. Katherine Hiegl is an adoptoraptor. Sandra Bullock is an adoptoraptor.

Adopteesplaining

Adopteesplaining is when people other than adoptees try to speak for adoptees as if they know what they are thinking, feeling, etc. Many adoptive parents seem to think they are the experts on the adopted experience, when the real experts are the adopted persons themselves. Only the people disconnected from their biological families and given falsified birth certificates can truly describe this experience correctly.

Adopteesplaining is often used by adoptoraptors who adopted a child to fulfill their own selfish needs and desires.
“Five year old Mary has been in foster care for 9 months and is so excited to be adopted by her foster family.” said the adoption agency worker. Mary did not speak for herself. Adopteesplaining was used to project feelings and thoughts about Mary and for Mary.

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.

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.
