Scratches at a Level 6 With Deeper Grooves at a Level 7

Something Zac from JerryRigEverything says in nearly every YouTube Video. He is known for literally destroying phones for a living with various durability tests. Refers to the Moh's Scale of Hardness, and how strong certain cell phone glass is.
Most cell phone glass scratches at a level 6 on the Moh's Scale of Hardness with more scratches being visible with a level 7 'pick'.

Never let the lyrics get in the way of the groove 

Never let the lyrics get in the way of the groove — a statement that can be taken figuratively, literally and symbolically that teaches the lesson that sometimes simplicity is profundity.

Used symbolically or metaphorically it can apply to people who let Tantric Sex get in the way of good fucking. Never let the “lyrics” get in the way of the “groove”.

Used literally it can refer to a lesson learned by Allee Willis when she co-wrote the song September with Maurice White.

White insisted on using the filler lyric “Ba-dee-ya” in the context of the finished song; and Allee Willis strongly disagreed with this choice and asked:

“What the fuck does “Ba-dee-ya” mean?”

To which Maurice White replied:

“What The fuck does it matter. Never let the lyrics get in the way of the groove.”

The song was a smash hit.

Figuratively it can be used to mean “less is more”.

Teenager learning to cook doing waaaaaaaay too much:

I’m gonna make a gourmet hamburger with sausage and beef topped with goat cheese, lettuce, tomato, mayonnaise, mustard, Ketchup, and Vidalia onion.

Friend hungry and ready to eat now:

DUDE! Never let the lyrics get in the way of the groove!!!! Just make us a couple of burgers.
Husband:

First we are going to do eye gazing; then we are going to give each other oil massages. After that we are going to place our right hands on each other’s hearts while chanting a pleasure mantra. Next, we are going to…

Wife interrupts:

Never let the lyrics get in the way of the groove.

Groove Metal

Groove Metal or alternatively Post Thrash is a sub genre of Extreme Metal that became popular after the Thrash Metal movement of the mid 80s.

The band Exhorder is credited for its creation with the 1990 album 'Slaughter In The Vatican' and the band Pantera for the genre's popularization with their 1990 and 1992 albums 'Cowboys From Hell' and 'Vulgar Display Of Power'.

Groove Metal combines elements of Thrash Metal, Heavy Metal, Hardcore Punk and minor elements Death Metal.

Groove Metal is considered by most, at it's core to be a slowed down version of Thrash Metal played around mid - tempo, emphasising some qualities over others. Although some Groove Metal bands have been known to speed up the tempo on certain songs, an example being Pantera's 'Fucking Hostile'.

Popular Groove Metal bands include: Pantera, Sepultura, Exhorder, White Zombie, Rob Zombie, Machine Head, Lamb Of God, Five Finger Death Punch and Fear Factory.

Groove Metal has been noted with being the inspiration for Nu Metal and

some forms of Metalcore most prominently Avenged Sevenfold.

Frothability 

The measure of an emotional and over zealous consumer in an upwardly charging market, also known as a bull market. It's characterized by rising asset prices, increased investor confidence, and favorable growth in the markets, bro.
The frothability was evident as over-zealous consumers eagerly engaged in bidding wars, driving property prices to unsustainable levels reminiscent of previous speculative bubbles.

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.

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.
