Fratting 

As much a state of mind as an action: unambiguously displaying confidence, intelligence, wealth, style and class while maintaining a positive, lackadaisical, attitude. One who truly fratts hard never forgets the value of having a good time or the responsibilities to which he is obligated.
Fratting includes but is not limited to, golfing, drinking, deep sea fishing, boating, sitting in the sun while at a pool or beach and finally denouncing guidos by any and every means necessary.

Fratting for wood 

1. When stranded in the Brocono Mountains, exploring all surrounding homesteads for suitable firewood to support your insatiable desire for beer and women henceforth resulting in the kleptomania of hanus amounts of uncompensated firewood (and simultaneously packing the fattest skoal spearmint gooches imagined by mankind).

2. When sorostitutes attend frat parties in seek of long hard frat wood, only to realize that their frat daddy has developed erectile dysfunction due to weeks of hazing and cocaine abuse. Said sorostitute resorts to "fratting for wood" by hitting on every frat guy she encounters hoping to deliver to her sacred flower blossom the trunk of a frat guy's pedigree.
1. Frat guy #1: DOOD! we're out of firewood!
(two hours and 14 beers later)
Frat guy #2: Yo let's go fratting for wood, it's getting cold in this STP.

2. Frat guy #1: DOOD! those sluts are totally trying to get fucked at our party tonight....
Frat guy#2: yeah man, they've been fratting for wood ever since their boyfriends passed out from speedballs. Ima about to give her the timber ;)
Frat guy#1 and frat guy #2: fraaaat.

Drive-By Fratting 

1. An incident that occurs when an SUV (usually a Chevy Tahoe) full of young, upper middle class white males who belong to a sort of "gang" called a fraternity, pulls up and the occupants throw beer cans, golf balls, and/or verbal insults at a victim and then peels away.

2. The victim is usually called a "fag" yet is not necessarily, nor often an actual homosexual. The irony is that the victim is called a "fag" by 4-5 males crammed closely together in the backseat of a vehicle.

3. Drive-by frattings while similar to drive-by shootings in style, are not actually harmful, just like frat boys unlike gang members are not actually tough. At worst victims have their self esteem hurt for 2.5 seconds.

4. Oxford, Mississippi is the "South Central LA" of Drive-by frattings. Please use caution when walking, biking, or jogging through such areas.
Screeeeeeech....."hey faaaaaaaaaggggggg!......wooooohoooo!!!!!" screeeeeeeeech (call peels off)

Victim One: "Did someone just through a Titlelist at me?"

Victim Two: "Yeah, good thing they throw like fags"

Victim One: "Must have been a drive-by fratting"

Porch Fratting 

The act of broing out in the company of bros on the front lawn and or porch of a fraternity house. Activities include sitting, bags (cornhole), football throwing, frisbee, listening to music and hanging out with ladies. A strict dress code is enforced. Shorts are required to be no longer than the tops of the knee and may not have cargo pockets. Collard polos are not required however advisable. Accessories include items such as; boat shoes, ray-bans, frat-strap (croakie), and any other nautical themed items. The easiest way to produce an acceptable music playlist is to use the itunes genius and start with any Jack Johnson or Dave Matthew's song.
Hey bro, why don't you call up the ladies we're all getting ready to go porch fratting. I'm gonna be a sec because I'm not looking to frat it up without my new polo and sperrys.

Over Fratting 

(verb) a.k.a Trying too hard. Key symptoms include buying and wearing everything Brooks Brothers, Polo, Hilfiger, and Vineyard Vines.

(Dead giveaway) Buying as much of the brands named above without ever owning any of them just because those brands are commonly associated with fraternity life.

The main reason why one would partake in Over Fratting would be to impress their fellow frat brothers and to make themselves seem more "frat" than they actually are.
When everything you're wearing is Vineyard Vines and/or loudly colored you're simply just Over Fratting. NF

Steve began Over Fratting just to hide how un-frat he is.

Day Fratting 

The act of partying and drinking outside during the day. Activities include chilling on couches brought from inside your house, grilling, football throwing, frisbee, can jam, lacrosse, listening to music and hanging out with ladies. A dress code is suggested. This consists of t shirts and shorts for dudes and bikinis for the ladies (that one is mandatory).

Saturday it was 80 degrees so I called an emergency session of day fratting.

We were day fratting so hard yesterday.

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.
