Circle of Digression 

Imaginary circle one steps or moves into when going off on a tangent during lively intellectual conversation.
They were having a rollicking discussion when he suddenly veered off topic. This was made all the more obvious by scooting his chair over just a tish (titch, skosh, trifle) and announcing that he was now inside the Circle of Digression.

Degrassi Junior High 

A follow up of the show "The Kids of Degrassi Street". Degrassi Junior High is an 80's Canadian show filmed in Toronto; about teens dealing with issues of drugs, sex/pregnancy, family abuse, dating, shop lifting, and other coming of age issues. The episodes are usually dramatic and hilarious at the same time. This also spawned another great show “Degrassi High” and a TV movie “Degrassi: Schools Out” and a less creative show “Degrassi: Next Generation”. This show had some funny lines such as You broomhead!
One of the maddest shows ever!!!

Digressting 

An interesting, engaging way of deviating or wandering away from the main topic or purpose when debating; departing from the principal line of argument, plot, study, etc. in order to confuse the opponent and utilise the confusion by declaring victory after the opponent confesses they do not follow. When an argument in itself is a digression and possibly nonfactual or entirely false, yet holds the attention or curiosity of the observer.

Coined by a Finnish man, who wished to remain anonymous.
His argument was, in the end, merely digressting.

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.

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.
