Place: Large estate on the South-Side of Glasgow, with more junkies and scumbags per square inch (3.3Cm)than the rest of Scotland. The area has multi-storey flats which attract 'The Salt Of The Earth'.

This area also sees teenage pregancies as a way to obtain council dwellings, methadone habits in kids of the same age, and women with scars/forearm tattoos.

Main attraction is the 'Somerfield' where you can steal batteries for your walkman, and the 'Greggs the Bakers' where the local junkies can bee seen eating a 'Fudge Donut' with the remaining 3 teeth still left in their head.
Tourist - "I hear that Glasgow is a very picturesque city, with a strong line of architecture, and culture. Where do you recommend I visit first?"

Resident - "Well, there's an offie doon at the cross... and there's a Greggs doon next tae the library if ye want a pie... But that's the pure Posh bit o' the Gorbals...

Gorbals is that one piece of shameful evidence of historical exploitation done to a people, gang-raped by The English. It is the very first organized public housing system that housed many a vulnerable/impoverished person and family. It is a single piece of information that reveals that government/city developers did not know anything about human nature of evolution before they forced folks into this Concrete Jungle. The Gorbals, as with any ghetto, is set up to 'frag' the people not in power.
If one wishes to see the decay of family integrity one need only look at the families that have been forced to reside in the Gorbals.

The feeling that the American, and general western liberal elites in the media, politics and academia get when they contemplate all the actions of Mikhail Gorbachev--the man they credit with bringing peace to the world, mostly since they hate Ronald Reagan (That cowboy!) too much to credit him with the fall of the Soviet Union. Whether or not they see that development as a bad thing is another story in itself...
A Gorbasm, ladies & gentlemen, is fake. A Gorbasm is a phony feeling of bliss and euphoria. Mikhail Gorbachev was credited by the media, and by many liberals in this country, with preserving the peace and security of the planet threatened by warmonger Ronald Reagan, and with bringing freedom to Eastern Europe and what used to be the Soviet Union.

To me, the Reagan defense buildup showed that we could maintain a world-class defense and a first-class economy, and the Soviets crumbled trying to keep up.

The time for worldwide jubilation was the day the USSR disintegrated. Gorbachev’s ouster has given the best reason in the world to have that one final, but sincere, Gorbasm. For now that the communist regime has imploded, there truly is a chance for lasting peace.

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."
