When you allow someone, you break all contact. No more emails, txts, phone calls etc. It's appropriate for an ex., someone you're not friends with any more or just anybody who you aren't going to correspond with any more. When the act of allowance is performed, then that person shall become "allowed". At that point you never reply to any messages they send or return any calls. If you go as far as deleting them from your contact list, address book etc. then they shall be known as truly allowed. You can allow a person, an object or an event.
Example 1: I've had enough of Bronwen, she can consider herself allowed.
Example 2: We went to the party but it was DA so we allowed it.
Notice how you don't say you "allowed the party and went home", you just simply allowed it as is the proper context

Pets allowed

An alternative to the smiley face emoticon commonly used to puncuate a sentence that may be read with too serious of a tone.

please delete if not allowed 

The phrase that clueless people put at the top of their group posts on facebook to indicate that they're too special to be bothered with reading the group rules, and so self important that they need to tell the admins how to do their job. Usually the post is spam advertising their youtube channel or marketplace item.
I see this a lot in groups and threads. The person will preface by saying “please delete if not allowed” followed by doing or posting something that is obviously not allowed. The rules are right there for everyone to read and why bother posting it if you know that it isn’t allowed?

You're not allowed to rent here! 

Originated from Clerks. Randall yells this at a customer who has already yelled at him and stormed out of the store.

Should be followed by an emphatic "Yeahhhhhhhh!" as was done by Jay in the movie.

This should be used as a non-sequitur to annoy someone who is already frustrated or cause more confusion to a situation.
Mom: These kids are driving me crazy and I can't find my keys and I'm running late....

You: You're not allowed to rent here!
Friend: Yeahhhhhhhhhhhhhh!

No Fun Allowed

The phrase to end all good times. Usually exclaimed by a fun-hating woman who can not stand to see her friends enjoy themselves. Must be exclaimed in a half-speed baritone for greatest effect. Can also be used to mock that person at the first hint ruining a good time. Detroit slang.
One more drink or should we head home?

No fun allowed!

No Calculators Allowed 

When students’ reliance on a scientific or graphing calculator prevents them from being fluent in performing certain basic operations, such as factorizing a function, finding the zeros of a cubic polynomial, and standardizing a normal distribution from the Statistical Tables—ritually pressing a set of keys often conceals their poor understanding or mastery of these routines.
If only math teachers and tutors would implement the “No Calculators Allowed” rule, students would be manually forced to learn the routine or tedious steps in getting the answer to some intermediate step of a problem.

Word of the Day on October 28, 2026
A lighthearted reaction upon receiving disappointing news of some sort. Usually something that isn't a particularly a big deal, esp. when it primarily affects someone else - sort of a mild schadenfreude. Sometimes doubled or tripled, and possibly said in a sing-songy voice for added comedic effect to imitate a muted trumpet, which is how the meme originated.

Surf Dracula Syndrome 

A phenomenon in film/television series, most notably streaming series, where the main premise is drawn out to such a point that it takes an entire season or more to get the parts of the series the audience is actually interested in seeing.

For example, if a series is titled "Surf Dracula," a majority of viewers would tune in expecting to see Dracula surfing by the first or second episode. However, the entire first season would instead be tedious padding and backstory before finally ending with Dracula surfing in the last five minutes of the season finale.
I watched "Smallville" on Netflix the other day. Dude, it was ten seasons of filler before he finally flew! Major Surf Dracula Syndrome!
