Erewhon is a Los Angeles based, organic grocery store that caters to health conscious, fit, and beautiful individuals. They offer a wide variety of salubrious, well-curated goods that are carefully selected to appeal to influencers and coastal elite types. A food boutique if you will.

At the door, a security guard will ask you to step on a scale to make sure you’re thin enough to enter. If you’re skinny enough to make it to the next step, the store manager will check your social media accounts to make sure you have at least 10k active, real followers. You must show your most recent tax documents and a valid passport with at least ten international stamps on it. If you’ve made it this far, you will then be asked to stand in front of three randomly selected Erewhon shoppers who will rate the softness of your hair and skin, your teeth and gums, how nice your hands are, and the quality and sustainability of your clothes and re-usable shopping bag. If they approve of you, a flower crown (organic) is placed on your shiny, soft hair and you are welcomed into the store by the other ethereal, thin, angelic Erewhon shoppers. If they disapprove, non-organic tomatoes are thrown at you and Gavin Newsom is called to perform a crystal and sage cleanse at the store. You are then vanished to "the colonies" (basically anywhere outside Southern California) where you'll be forced to shop at Vons with the commoners who wear Kohl's clothes and use an Android.
Erewhon Shopper 1: Should I get the $30 Buffalo Cauliflower or the $50 Organic Coconut Turmeric Chicken Tenders?

Erewhon Shopper 2: Ew, neither. You'll end up looking like one of those obese out of state people that weight like, 150 pounds and buy their groceries at a regular supermarket. If you keep eating like that, you'll have to buy your clothes at one of those size-inclusive places like Target or Kohl's. Is that the future you want? Just get the $20 non-GMO, free-range water instead.

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."
