CityRail 

The choo choo service in Sydney, Australia and other surrounding intercity areas. It is a rail system that has been building since 1855 and now is (not so) complete with 302 bin-less, terrorist targeted stations each connected by 2,060 km of shoty ladder laid down on dirt; naming it "one of the most complex commuter rail systems in the world", hence the most unreliable. In 2006, CityRail run 12 different types of double decked rail car, in which only 2 of those run on a day-to-day basis because they are simply just too tired.

The service is also sometimes referred to by friendly commuters that are late to work everyday as ShityRail, CitDeRail and CityFail.

cityrail 

The name of the transport system in NSW. Completely and utterly unreliable, guaranteed to make you late every time you catch it with the added bonus of crowded carriages and obnoxious smelly passengers. Features include randomly stopping in the middle of nowhere for no reason or explanation, habitual lateness and almost every station's background music is "the train on platform x is delayed by approximately 7000 minutes". Most of the drivers are nice though.
Driver this morning "Big surprise passengers, this train is delayed due to trackwork ahead. Cityrail apologises."

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.

EBK stands for "Elite Ball Knowledge." 1 In internet slang, "ball knowledge" originally referred to a deep understanding of football/soccer or basketball, but it has evolved into a broader term for having a highly sophisticated, deep, or niche understanding of any specific topic (such as music, movies, or subcultures).
Person A: "That scene was a direct homage to an unreleased 1982 Japanese indie film."
Person B: "Wow, EBK."
