Polignorant correctness scenarios:
Stating at a dinner party, "Global warming is a myth!" without checking the science behind the claims of the scientists. The speaker gives the impression that they have a wealth of knowledge on the subject.
Commentator on a news channel saying, "Islam is a peaceful religion" without researching the scriptural basis for the Islamic terrorist actions that just occurred. The commentator gets to appear understanding and humane without any research required.
Professing "All cultures and societies are equal in merit and achievment" as if one had extensively studied and found that to be the case. The speaker looks understanding and vastly educated.

Canyon Collective
A cult masquerading as a canyoneering forum.
Needless to say, most of the cult members have been brainwashed into believing things that are not true, and tricked into doing things that greatly restrict their personal freedom. In spite of this, Canyon Collective cult members seem to find great fulfillment in limiting what they can say or do.

Free Thinker: "Hey man, how was canyoneering last weekend?"
Cult Member: "I'm not allowed to say."
Free Thinker: "Uh... OK. Did you post any pictures of your trip on FaceBook?"
Cult Member: "The Leader of the Canyon Collective said nobody should do that."
Free Thinker: "That is strange. Why not?"
Cult Member: "The Leader said that sharing photos will lure thousands to His precious canyons. The unwashed masses are not worthy of entry. They would unquestionably destroy His canyons."
Free Thinker: "I don't think that is true. Most canyons stay the same year after year regardless of traffic."
Cult Member: "The Leader might view you as evil. He might tell me not to be friends with you."
Free Thinker: "Dude, that is messed up! Well... can you take me through the canyons that you just did?"
Cult Member: "Yes, of course! Obviously!! However, you must never tell anyone about them. Plus anyone that you take through has to swear to only show those canyons and never tell anyone about them."
Free Thinker: "But then you will have to monitor what I do with the route information until the end of time... and I in turn will have to monitor what my friends do with the route information. That sounds like a lot of needless drama."
Cult Member: "Whatever The Leader says is the best way. The only way. I love The Leader. I will obey."
Free Thinker: "Fuck that! I'll just figure out where you went, then enjoy my adventure like a normal person. See ya around, nutjob!"

dead drop
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.

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.

Blexas
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.
