Cascader 

A cascader is a male who is not hygiene literate in that he does not know that he needs to clean in between his butt crack. Instead, assuming that soapy water cascading over his ass is enough to do the job. A worse variant of cascader will also neglect to pull back his foreskin to give the knob a clean. Males like this are the most likely reason that women hate giving head or rimjobs (because they can smell old poo poos wofting up from the booty hole and/or smegs). Neither parties of a straight couple has the awareness that men aren't supposed to smell that bad - unlike gay guys who usually learn early in life to clean that shit up. Although much rarer, females can also be cascader.
1:

Girl: Hey mum, does dad ever ask you for a BJ? Darren always asks me but it's so gross because his junk smells like shit.

Mum: Oh honey that's because Darren's a cascader. I told you not to marry him. He wasn't raised right.

2:

Bro 1: Hey bro, you got any tips on getting shit stains out of my underwear and towels? I always get them even right after I shower!

Bro 2: Bro, you know that's not normal right? Do you clean in between your ass cheeks when you shower?

Bro 1: Lol no way bro that's gay!

Bro 2: Lol no it's not bro. You're just a nasty cascader. It's no wonder Sara broke up with you.

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.

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.

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.
