stalking my life on the boardwalk

When a person has latched onto you and tracks your every move, to the point that you can't leave your house without being paranoid about the person mysteriously popping up and interrogating you.

Origin: The episode of Jersey Shore when Pauly D's girl kept following him around as he hung out with friends on the boardwalk, and then called the house 3 times in a row to find out where he was.
1)
Girl: "Why didn't you call me last night? Where were you? Who were you with? I called you 3 times and you never called me back and I KNOW you got my messages!"
Boy: "OK, seriously, you are stalking my life on the boardwalk right now."

2)
Boy: "Hey, so you're single now? You dated for what, 7 months? And your ex transferred schools?"
Girl: "How did you know all that?"
Boy: "I checked your Facebook."
Girl: "Could you stop stalking my life on the boardwalk?"

Boardwalk Empire 

A bomb-ass show on HBO. Set in the 1920s, it is a show about a shady, cunning Treasurer Enoch "Nucky" Thompson during the Prohibition era in Atlantic City, New Jersey. This show includes his interactions with other shady characters in politics of that time, bootlegging, prostitution, murder and all that jazz. Despite being a show about the dingy, dangerous, roaring 20s, one can't help but long to have lived during that time...as a white man, of course.
Me: Man, I love Richard Harrow! He's the most awesome character in Boardwalk Empire!
Boyfriend: But his face is all fucked up.
Me: Fuck you! I'd bang him like a screen door during a tsunami!
Boyfriend: That's why you're awesome.

Margaret Schroeder is a holier-than-thou bitch. She must die.

The Boardwalk Effect 

When you are at a party or gathering of some type and upon arrival you notice the girls aren't good looking. Then after a prolonged period of time at the party or gathering, your standards at that party fall and the least ugly chicks start looking good.

Can also be when you are at a gathering with not that many girls there and just because there's not that many chicks at the party, the ones there start looking good when normally they're not that great or grenades.

Came from a visit to the Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk where most of the girls there are fat and ghetto. After a few hours there your standards fall and they start looking good.
*at a party*
Bro 1 (11:00pm)- Man this party is kinda wack, the chicks here are not fine.
Bro 2 (11:00pm)- Yeah I feel you man, whatever its early i'm sure it will get better.

Bro 1 (12:30am)- Dude some of these chicks are starting to look good...
Bro 2 (12:30am)- Yeah I know, we need to get the hell out of here, its the Boardwalk Effect.

Boardwalk Whore 

(N)

An eastern seaboard lifestyle, NOT a society or group, of ruthless, very sexy, very underage, and very much so pretending to be drunk after a sip females, who range in age from 13-19 years. Their crass and egotistical attitudes hences the term "whore", along with their professional ability to rock any drunken college guy's world. They enjoy playing "hard to get", although they just spent 2 hours in a hotel bathroom fixing themselves up for a night of hormone rampage. Knowing the lifestyles of these creatures is more less a survival guide to rid yourself of avoidable disease, and criminal charges than for a denotation.

A term given predominately to girls who reside in Mid-Atlantic region of the eastern United States, and attend Senior Week in Ocean City, Maryland anywhere from the traditional week to a fortnight or more, on the second to fourth week, in June. In fact, a sexual encounter with a Boardwalk Whore can be considered ultimate, The Holy Grail if you will, of all sex you will ever engage in. The main objective of this group of indigenous females is to: score free beer, slink around town in clothes that would cause their parents to have heart failure, and ruin the lives of horny guys they have intercourse with by going back to Pennsylvania a day later. The security of spending a parental and rule free week or more away from mainstream society folkways, could be both viewed psychologically and sociologically.
That Boardwalk Whore was a bossanova chick...too bad she was in a SPELLING BEE this spring!! EWWWWW!!

Person 1: Hey, kid. we’ve just spent 13 years of our lives slaving away in academia, and now it is time to finally do something that reign supreme over our fellow peers and get laid...maybe even contract an HIV while doing so.
Person 2: Let's go to Senior Week in OCMD, and score with a few naive Boardwalk Whores!!!!...I'll make reservations!
Person 1: And I will never be able to look my mother in the eye again after returning!
Person 1 & Person 2: WOOOO! ROCK AND ROLL!!!!! GOD BLESS Boardwalk Whores

Boardwalk 

As in monopoly, something or someone that is seemingly unattainable but yet very desirable. Whether this is due to not being able to read or understand the person or object or whether the person or object is just too weird and indescribable (not to mention confusing and somewhat frustrating). If the thing you are describing is a person, it is someone who constantly surprises you and you are unable to rely on them due to their constant changes in behavior and attitude toward you. This also means you can go from loving them to hating them in a matter of seconds. If the thing you are describing is an object it is something that you cannot figure out its purpose or necessity to ever being invented.
Lindsay Lohan's strive to stay clean is a boardwalk just like Kate Gosselin trying to be normal.

Wearing belts when they are not attached to your pants via beltloops is a boardwalk- they aren't holding anything up!

Vince is a boardwalk...you never know WHICH Vince you are going to get.

A dead drop is a location used to secretly pass items between two people, without requiring them to meet.

Spies have been known to use dead drops, using various techniques to hide the items and to signal that the drop has been made. Drug dealers use this as well.

A common place is to duct tape the item to the underside of a toilet cover in a public restroom.

A signal is sometimes used as well to indicate there is something to pickup, like a pile of stones in a certain formation. After checking the drop the signal is removed.
"The dead drop is the restroom toilet at the Gulf station at the corner of Commercial Ave. and Georges Rd."

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.
