Carpetbagger 

Carpetbaggers have a long history. The first Carpetbaggers came to the South from Yankee states after the Civil War to make a quick buck. Later Carpetbaggers moved to the South in the 1970s when the big 3 automakers in Detroit started to fail. Modern-day Carpetbaggers primarily move to 5 cities in Texas (El Paso, Houston, San Antonio, Austin, and Dallas) to escape the wretched economic prospects of their home states (usually California and Yankee states). They will take jobs from Texans and are generally ungrateful bastards, frequently calling Texans rednecks and complaining about how it sucks here as compared to their squathole in Mexifornia or New England. If Texas sucks so much, then why are you here?
The most famous modern-day Carpetbagger is Joseph Stack, the guy who rammed his plane into the IRS building in Austin.

Get out of Texas, carpetbagger!

carpetbagger 

When northern people came to the south to take advantage of their poor situation when they were vulnerable. This was after the Civil War and people were upset about it.

There is a modern day version which does not occur too much. See example for more.
Hillary Clinton. She came to New York from out of state, not knowing much. Bill tried to be cool and get an office in Harlem, but not one person bought that and saw through his attempts to conceal his non-new yorker self. You can't just go to another place and act like you own it. Con artists are good at this, and that is how she won.

For years, and even today, (real) New Yorkers have held signs and had bumper stickers saying things such as "Hillary GO HOME"

It is commonly understood that Hillary Clinton is not a New Yorker. However, it is equally understood that as she changes her mind on issues in a matter of minutes or depending on the audience, that she may change who she is (for example: saying she is from New York to New Yorkers, when she really is not. She could learn some lessons from Obama (a real democrat) who is consistent and does not tell lies.

What made hillary a Carpetbagger?: she took advantage of New York and her fame and ran for Senator. She was elected after her strong opposition was diagnosed with prostate cancer and was forced to drop from the race. After she was elected, it was clear she had no real interest in New York, and she was going to simply use it to run for President down the line. She knew it was impossible to beat President Bush in 2004, so she waited until now, and here she is. If she was serious about New York, she would do more than vote for $1 million in Tax funds for the hippie Woodstock concert museum, but the majority of New York's fire and ambulance services are volunteer and don't have enough federal funding. This shows her lack of genuine interest in New York.

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.
