R(etroactively) A(mended) P(urchase) E(xperience) 

A retroactively amended purchase experience is when a company changes the terms of the sale, after the sale. Companies can do this nowadays because most of us use cloud software, otherwise known as SaaS, Software as a Service. Since we have to connect to someone else's computer to USE our software, they have the ability to deny us access to this software without accepting new terms, that they can change on us at any given time. Since consumer protection in the United States is a joke, they face no consequences for doing so.

An example of this can be found with Adobe when they changed the terms of the sale to include terms allowing them to look through your content.

Or when Adobe took software you paid for, and disallowed you from activating it. perpetual licenses are not perpetual licenses as long as you must connect to someone else's computer to use what you paid for.
I really liked my $400 baby monitor, but now I have to pay extra for features it came with because the company did a R(etroactively) A(mended) P(urchase) E(xperience). I feel RAPEd!

A Riker’s Island green cup experience 

A Riker’s Island green cup experience — A short prison experience designed to make a weak co-conspirator flip on his bosses and “rat up” — meaning inform our co-conspirators higher in authority and more deeply imbedded in the organization under investigation.

Tennis great Boris Becker just finished two years in prison and he said: “ It’s a different lifestyle; it’s a different world…The only currency you have is your character and your personality — literally — and you better make friends with the strong boys because you need protection , you need a group of people to look out for you”

To which I say: YIKES!!!!!!!!

If you are weak A Riker’s Island green cup experience will not only make you flip; it will also make you a gold medal winning judicial gymnast!!!!!!!!
A Riker’s Island green cup experience may have caused Allen Weisselberg to flip on Donald Trump. Four months is a real jail in theory is short time. As an actual experience, and facing more charges it’s actually unthinkable. Flip hell!!! Allen Weisselberg probably not only flipped; but is now also probably a gold medal judicial gymnast!!!!!

Twin Flame Experience 

The Twin Flame experience is the meeting of another person who awakens within you a spirituality and a sense of being alive that is unlike anything experienced previously. It is often experienced as a transcendental "oneness" with God, yourself, and the other person. Mortal time becomes irrelevant. The two seem to know each other immediately and intuitively, and can continue to correspond off and on throughout a lifetime as though no time has passed at all. Life begins to be measured in terms of experiences, rather than years, after meeting a Twin Flame. The sense becomes that even when physically separated, a twin no longer feels alone on the planet. This bond can be experienced to such an intensity that it can feel like one twin's soul is inhabiting the body of the other, sharing the flesh.

The intensity of the connection often sends the Twins (TF's) into a tailspin following a brief experience of heaven on earth. This period can be considered a time of refining, during which each twin begins a task of identifying and confronting individual demons (read: unhealthy or self-defeating traits, beliefs, flaws, etc.) If utilized correctly, these trials can work to lead each individual toward greater balance. Developing wholeness as an individual - and not two halves making a whole - is the goal of the TF experience. This goal can be likened to that of the Buddhist concept of obtaining Nirvana and the Christian concept of earthly rebirth into a transcendental state.
Tales describing the Twin Flame experience - without utilizing the label of such - abound in both literature and music, and with varying outcomes.

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.
