noun, verb. \dē-pē-thrē.\

Definition:

Denotes a single entity, comprised of a trio of the popular soft drink "Dr. Pepper", which is consumed within one sitting.

Prescription:
Most commonly, the subject will consume each portion of the triumvirate using a single chalice; effectively refilling said chalice twice. Standard chalice volume averages 12 ounces (340.19 grams), with an acceptable standard deviation of 2. However, among experienced DP3'ers, the mean is often times much higher in practice: usually encompassing 15-18 ounces. The duration of one sitting usually parallels the time it takes to finish a meal. Applying a finite value, a sitting usually ranges from 0.3-0.75 hours. Sitting status will most commonly be lost on sittings that span more than 1.5 hours. However, this may be excused in light of specific circumstances. Currently, according to DP3NSA (National Standards Association) only the heritage Dr. Pepper variety is eligible for DP3 status, leaving out alternative flavorings such as Diet, Caffeine-Free, Cherry, Black Cherry, Vanilla, and Berries and Cream Dr. Pepper.

Confusion:
Confusingly, a DP3 may also refer to a single heritage flavored Dr. Pepper. However, this notion has been widely dispelled by DP3 purists.

Note:
The concept of DP3 has gained an unhealthy notoriety and a cult like following among the Mexican Minor League Baseball Team,"Vaqueros de la Laguna", and its fan base. No plausible rationale can be offered as to this phenomena.
(En Route to Avicii Concert) "Bro, I just had a DP3, I'm ready to f**king rage!"

(Post-Avicii Concert) "Bro, I raged pretty hard during "Levels"...I think I need a DP3"

Darnelle: "Hey Mitch, I'm running to the store...need a drink?"

Mitch: "No thanks, just had a caffeine-free cherry DP3"

Darnelle: "No. No you did not. According to DP3NSA guidelines, that is absolutely invalid. Remove yourself from my presence at once."

Just DP3'ed....you jelly?

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.

EBK stands for "Elite Ball Knowledge." 1 In internet slang, "ball knowledge" originally referred to a deep understanding of football/soccer or basketball, but it has evolved into a broader term for having a highly sophisticated, deep, or niche understanding of any specific topic (such as music, movies, or subcultures).
Person A: "That scene was a direct homage to an unreleased 1982 Japanese indie film."
Person B: "Wow, EBK."
