A relationship broakup (or otherwise simply known as a broakup) refers to the ending of a relationship, typically a bromantic one (see: Bromance). A broakup can vary from casual to emotionally traumatic. The cause itself can be related to a degradation of the relationship between bros (rolling back to "friends", or worse, to "acquaintances") or in the most tragic cases, to circumstances bigger than said individuals (i.e marriage, graduation, moving, etc.).

In case of a very abrupt and definitive separation, or when the broakup ends a very profound and intense bromance, the term "brovorce" may be more appropriate (see: Brovorce).
Jim: "Tomorrow Tom will move from our apartment. We shared it for 8 years, and tonight will be the last time we go out to party until there's not a single bar open and come home to drink the last shot before passing out. I feel like shit."

Andrew: "Cheer up, broakups can be bad, but i'm sure you two will still manage to do that every now and then, even if he's going to live 100 miles from you."

Drive-by Breakup 

The destruction of a relationship (any kind, including marriage) by one person in one of two ways:

1. Knowingly blaming everything on the other person, projecting and using every single nasty thing one can think of to hurt the other and destroy the relationship willingly.

2. Unknowingly blaming everything on the other person, projecting and using every single nasty thing one can think of to hurt the other and destroy the relationship willingly.

The result of either of these 2 sub-definitions is the same: the other person (the victim of the Drive-by Breakup) is in the equivalent position of a drive-by shooting victim: lying on the side of the street, bleeding out and mortally-wounded
"Wow. That drive-by breakup was really bad!"

"Man, I'm telling you, it killed him. Drive-by breakups are no joke!"

"Watch out, you're headed for a drive-by breakup if you hook up with that person!"

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.
