They're socail status usually changes with their mood and they usually listen to a lot of music such a Mayday Parade, Jimmy Eat World and Armor For Sleep. The Emocrombie kids usually are in a weird point in their life's not knowing who they are yet

Emocrombie kids could also be trulley sad inside, but they are too afraid to show it so they constantly wear clothes such as Abercrombie and Hollister to avoid questions because they are too sick of answering them. The "crombie" part could be just a cover up for the "emo" part.

Emocrombie kids are often called posers when they finally tell somebody their feelings. They are called posers because everybody around them either thinks they are extermley happy, or the other people are busy being too sad for themselves. EMOCROMBIE KIDS ARE USUALLY NOT POSERS!!!

***Emocrombie's are often called posers so don't make them crawl back into their shells if they tell you they are feeling sad. DONT CALL THEM POSERS! Emocrombie is just a confused point in life***
Sue wears a bright-pink shirt to school, but she feels very sad inside, she feels "EMOCROMBIE"

Jill wears mainly Abercrombie and Hollister, but colored her hair differently and expressed herself, but was then called a poser for an emo kid. Jill gets even sadder.

Jack usually wears Hollister but decides to express himself so he tells Bob he's feeling sad, but Bob laughs. Bob decides that Jack is just jokeing and walks away while Jack is left to pull up his hoodie and feel very confused.

Emotov cocktail

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.
