hakuna mbadala
(ha koo NAH — bah DAH lah)
Translation from Kiswahili to English: "There is no alternative."
Common usage is found among those aligned with or sympathetic to the LiFE™ Mission of ABiA Nation. It is mostly a stoically serious and sacred admonition, reminder, and encouragement to remember that the cost of freedom and LiVeration can be steep, yet the reward is priceless! Meanwhile, the failure to proceed and succeed is grave and often terminally dire.
It can often be heard uttered at the end of any order or assignment issued that is inherently dangerous and commonly thought of as unlikely, if not impossible to achieve.
It is, however, often used just as enthusiastically at celebrations of remembrance, victory, conquest, and achievement. In this use case, it is usually performed and heard as a rhythmic chant/incantation and/or call & response. The impromptu performance may be accompanied by strong dance and inspired, organically coordinated, sometimes syncopated chest slapping/thumping with the hand and/or fist until it becomes music and song. It is an often imitated style that is unique to the ABiAN Peoples.
The full embodiment of the sentiment of the Israeli Jewish peoples captured in their legendary "En Brera," is inculcated and alive within the understanding of "hakuna mbadala." There is no alternative.

Hatsune Miku
A digital singer popular worldwide, primarily Japan. She is voiced by the bilingual Voice synthesizer series VOCALOID which are made by numerous companies. She was meant to just be used for back up vocals in songs but soon became her own artist. There are many others like her the most popular ones being Meiko, Kaito, Megurine Luka, and the Kagamine twins Rin and Len. All of which were made by the same company that created her, Crypton Future Media. Anyone can make her sing a song by imputing a melody and lyrics. She's spawned a series of rhythm games for the PSP, PS Vita, and the PS3/PS4 titled Hatsune Miku: Project DIVA.
She sings many different genres from rock to electro pop. Some popular songs are Rolling Girl, Yellow, Matryoshka, Unhappy Refrain, Two Breaths Walking and World is Mine. Due to her fame, Crypton has had live concerts which include all of the vocaloids which were listed above. She and her fellow performers sing in a holographic projection with a live band. Each concert have the lights off to make it seem more realistic and have special effects such as lasers and fog machines and flower petals falling from the ceiling. Typically the audience have glow sticks and swing then synchronized to the beat of the song. Her songs typically are about life and love and can get rather dark since anyone can purchase her and publish a song freely.

dead drop
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.

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.

Blexas
Texas is categorized as a swing state in presidential elections, but has voted for Republicans more times than for Democrats in recent history. As such, as demographics change political alignments, some Democrats believe that Texas will vote blue, or Democratic, due to their Hispanic and African American voters, who often align themselves with the Democratic Party's liberal wing.
Blexas has been cited as possible in the upcoming decades, but only if Democrats continue to win the Hispanic vote in bigger margins.
