Charlie Cornheiser 

A practice descrobed by "comedian" Tom Shillue on RedEye in reference to video footage of an Iranian soccer team that resulted in Islamic immorality charges with a possible fine, prison term, and lashes. Presumably, Mr. Shillue has extensive experience with the practice, which is named for a combination charlie-horse/cornhole, not a real person by that name

The "Charlie Cornheiser" involves patting a fellow player on the buttocks in a seemingly innocuous manner common in any athletic celebration then sliding the hand up into the junkal region for a cheap grope.

The "Cornheiser" is not a quick, accidental contact. It is an obviously intentional act that involves lingering, cuppage, squeezing, and/or an attempt to turn the recipient into a "human puppet." (ref. professional sidekick, Bill Schulz).

According to an official of the Iranian Football Federation (which imposed a fine of $40,000.00 on the both the Charlie Cornheis-er and the unwilling Charlie Cornheis-ee):

"...this action can be considered a violation of public chastity. The punishment of this crime is prison up to two months and 74 lashes."

In the U.S. and Europe, the Charlie Cornheiser is far less serious, resulting in a fist to the face, a sexual harassment suit, or drinks and "whatever happens next."
After the goal, Tom, jumped atop the writhing mound of joyous team mates, only to find himself the recipient of a (not entirely) unwelcome Charlie Cornheiser that was so enthusiastic it required the use of a special doughnut-shaped seat cushion for the next 9 days.

Charlie Cornheiser 

When an acquaintance initializes a celebratory grab of the buttocks, where the index and middle finger protrude into the wedging of the glutteus maximus.

This is originated by Iranian soccer players, who risked fines and 74 lashes, in order to properly celebrate a goal made by a teammate. The term was coined by Greg Gutfeld.
Karim: "Hey man, get your fingers out of my butt!"
Omar: "haha! looks like you just caught a Charlie Cornheiser!"

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.

Person B: "Wow, EBK."

Texas is categorized as a swing state in presidential elections, but has voted for Republicans more times than for Democrats in recent history. As such, as demographics change political alignments, some Democrats believe that Texas will vote blue, or Democratic, due to their Hispanic and African American voters, who often align themselves with the Democratic Party's liberal wing.

Blexas has been cited as possible in the upcoming decades, but only if Democrats continue to win the Hispanic vote in bigger margins.
Democrat 1: What is your prediction for the 2024 presidential election?
Democrat 2: Well uh, Blexas!
Democrat 1: You've been saying that since 2008 though.
