Broadway Shit Show

A type of shit show (see also: shitshow) that is distinctive due to the clear lack of morality and blatant disregard for consequences for actions that is exhibited by all involved. (Preferably brought about by copious amounts of alcohol)

This alcohol must be dangerously delicious and also violently colorful to stimulate the senses accordingly.

“Broadway” is simply to denote the absolute and total debauchery that will undoubtedly permeate the atmosphere (might be mistaken by one's nose as the smell of random sex and fruity vodka). This takes its roots from the connotation that a Broadway show is the epitome of showmanship and live entertainment.

There can be no rules at all for behavior, except those put in place to keep traditional morals out of everyone's minds. Ex) All drink and all clothes must disappear by 2am.

A Broadway Shit Show should be impromptu, but can be planned as long as this planning does not detract from the shenanigans that must occur to earn the gathering this exclusive title.

The only real rule for a Broadway Shit Show, (hence why you probably haven't heard of one before), is that Fight Club rules apply.
::This means that this particular type of shit show must be a total secret to all except the participants, 40% or more forgotten due to imminent head injury (be it physical or chemical), and last but not least completely out of any reasonable human being's comfort zone (hence the likeness to Fight Club's supposed mind cleansing properties).
Dude last night was a TOTAL Broadway Shit Show. And i cannot believe that it was all her idea.

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.

Brought to public attention by Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein in the book on the fall of Richard Nixon, All The President’s Men, ratfucker was Nixon’s term for a political operative who sows chaos among opponents; an agent provocateur. It is thought to have originated among campus political rivalries at USC, and seems to have some usage in the US military.
Along with Nixon’s other ratfuckers, Roger Stone caused fights at otherwise peaceful Democratic Party protests to generate a false narrative that the Democrats were violent and dangerous.
