blue collar holler 

A whistle, "cat call", yelp, suggestive comment, greeting or gesture, or any harassment of the sexual kind, directed at a lady from a blue collar worker while on the job. The most familiar blue collar hollers come from construction workers or truck drivers and travel a safe, non-confrontational distance. The motivation behind a blue collar holler is unknown, though many theories have been discussed. Some wonder if a date or even sex is expected from it, but others says it is purely to make a woman feel uncomfortable.
Someone just whistled at me from the top of that building that's under construction. Talk about a blue collar holler!

That blue collar holler that I recieved from that man driving a plumber's van made me feel uncomfortable and disgusting on the inside. I'm pretty sure he had a mullet, but I can't be sure since he was driving away.

Blatantly lying to others in front of the accused, about an action you know you committed, but have placed the blame on another.
I used a spool of cable wire as a leash for my friend's dog and ever since have blatantly denied it and blamed the dog's owner. He's tried to explain the truth ever since, in vain. Dog-collaring him has become a regular occurrence when we are together.

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.

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.
