The British word “Bosh” is typically used as a celebratory exclamation for gastronomy; usually said before, during, or after consumption of a large, hearty working class meal (scran); such as a Chinese, kebab, or full English breakfast. May be said while gesturing with a closed fist held slightly aloft to show solidarity.

The word also may be regarded as a way to signal to others the impressive (nay reckless, or formidable) size of one's appetite, and indicate one's no nonsense, no-frills culinary taste and sensibility in appreciating “proper” portions of good food.

Originated with viral British Tiktok takeaway kingpin, Big John.
Sweet and sour chicken Hong Kong style, bosh!

A cuppa coffee, full English all the trimmings. Bosh.

BOSH is an Xbox Live clan. It was created in 2008, during the apex of Call of Duty 4. Though it is mainly a Call of duty clan, BOSH has been known to dabble in other games such as Halo, Rainbow 6, and Ghost Recon. Unlike many clans, the letters B-O-S-H are not an acronym for any name or slogan.

BOSH has very few members, and this is by design. They have just a few simple rules that must be followed:

1. Always play fair. This means:
- No cheating/glitching
- No corner sitting
- No ridiculous useage of weaponry (i.e. launching rifle
grenades into the air at every opportunity in the off chance it MIGHT kill someone)

2. Always play for the good of your teammates:
- Communicate
- Let your teammates know where you are
- Let them know where the enemies are/where you were just killed from
- Watch their backs
- This sometimes means getting very few kills, if only
because you are protecting their backsides exclusively

3. Have fun
- It's not all serious. Losses are fine, as long as you try
your best. Everyone has off nights, BOSH is no exception
- Jokes about promiscuous females, as well as other
member's mothers are acceptable and in fact encouraged

The members of BOSH are as follows:

BOSHZoniax
BOSHQ Bal 14
BOSHDrJandTheWomen
BOSHBlaquesnakeVal

If you ever see these names together all at once, you can count on having a fun, fair game. Also, plan on having your ass handed to you.
When you play BOSH, it can usually be expected that you will lose. If you must refer to this loss, you may say "I was just BOSHed!" or, "That was a hell of a BOSHing".

Gamer 1: Man, we got our asses handed to us!

Gamer 2: I know, we got BOSHed. Those BOSH guys play too fair for us. Let's go play a bunch of corner- sitting glory hogs instead.

Gamer 1: Definitely. I need to get my next Prestige level faster. Can't do it playing fairly, like BOSH seems to do. *Leaves lobby

Bosh by Tyla Howells November 8, 2021
The bosh is a smoking utensil similar to a gravity bong. Unlike the gravity bong which involves cutting off the bottom of a bottle, the bottom is made by making a series of holes. This causes for more suction resulting in a bigger hit.
Man! That bosh pulls such massive hits!

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.
