Billboard Syndrome 

The inability to read more than six words at a given moment. With the onslaught of mass advertising especially on billboards, humans have become accustomed to reading words at speeds of 25mph to 65mph (legally). Advertisers must keep the number of words down to around six as to make the ads stand out with large fonts.
Billboard Syndrome presents itself when some one is given a document to read with more than twenty words, and they only read several (average of six) of those words. It is primarily used by Technical Support and System Admins, when giving written instructions (such as to access an e-mail address account or other company or organization system), and still call the Help Desk or Sys Admin for help.

Billboard Shirt 

n.

A shirt that essentially makes the wearer a human billboard.

These types of shirts have a store's name and/or logo somewhere placed on it, usually across the front chest area.

-Usually nothing special or original about these kinds of shirts.
-Typically overpriced.
-A sign of social status

*Frequently found in elementary schools where if you do not own one, the likelihood of being in the in-crowd significantly decreases.
--Also found frequently in High School, but not so looked upon for social status.

Instead of the store/company paying for advertising, the naive consumer purchases the shirt to advertise for them for the sake of showing off that they are wearing a particular brand.
Spongebob: Mr. Krabs! I want on of those new Krusty Krab shirts!
Mr. Krabs: That will be $30, my dear boy!
Spongebob: *gives Mr. Krab the money* Yay! I can't wait to show off my shirt to all of Bikini Bottom!
Squidward: *mumbles "naive sponge... giving Mr. Krabs free advertising by buying a billboard shirt"*

Frothability 

The measure of an emotional and over zealous consumer in an upwardly charging market, also known as a bull market. It's characterized by rising asset prices, increased investor confidence, and favorable growth in the markets, bro.
The frothability was evident as over-zealous consumers eagerly engaged in bidding wars, driving property prices to unsustainable levels reminiscent of previous speculative bubbles.

pod person 

A person pretending to be something they aren't, or an impostor. This is inferred because of the old alien movies where alien pods appear on earth and the "pod people" dispose of the humans and slowly reproduce the bodies, pretending to be humans.
The pod person was pretending to be my father, but I knew that he was an alien when he acted differently than my father ever would have.

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.
