50 Cent (who the original 50 cent was and why the rapper chose that name) 

The original 50 Cent (not the rapper) was from fort green in america he was known in every borough as the most vicious stick up kid around during the late 80's he wasn't really known for his "hustling" or anything like that; he was simply that dude who, when you saw him, you knew someone was about to come off their shit, be it cash, jewels or drugs. He died a violent death as a young man, but in his short reign, he definatly made his mark.

these words are not my own they are from 50x50 50 cent's autobiography now i've seen a lot of people saying that 50 Cent isn't a real gangsta and that he's just a wanksta but the fact is he was a gangsta and once you are a gangsta you stay gangsta forever, he was hustlin when he was 12 years old. people say oh he's only famous for being shot 9 times well thats bullshit he's famous because a lot of people like his music i personally like his music and i don't hear a new 50 track on the radio then go omg he's been shot 9 times im gonna go and buy his CD i can understand if you don't like his music but i dont understand is you saying that he's only famous for being shot. As far as im concerned 50 Cent is an original gangsta and im not linkin that because there isn't a proper definition of it up yet :)

dollar and cent

Similar to nickel and dime but rather than try to squeeze every cent from you in small increments, it's done so with larger amounts i.e. dollars rather than nickels.
Wait, I already paid full price for this game and you want to charge me $10 more just to get a feature that should have been in the game from the start? Way to dollar and cent your customers!

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.
The frothability was evident as over-zealous consumers eagerly engaged in bidding wars, driving property prices to unsustainable levels reminiscent of previous speculative bubbles.

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.
