isomorphism

Abstract algebra: Take a group G, and a group H, with a group operation *. G is isomorphic to H if there exist a map f: G->H such that:

1: f is injective
2: f is surjective
3: f(a*b)=f(a)*f(b) for all a,b in G

If f satisfies these three properties, f is called an isomorphism.
The map f: Z -> E given by f(a)=2a where Z is the integers and E is the even integers is an isomorphism.

Proof:
Showing injectivity

f(b)=f(a) => 2a=2b (from the given function) <=> a=b

Showing surjectivity
Suppose n is in E. n is an even integer hence n=2k for some integer k.

f(k)=2k=n, hence f is surjective.

Homomorphism:
f(a+b)=2(a+b)=2a+2b=f(a)+f(b)

Hence f is an isomorphism. Q. E. D.

Isomorphic JavaScript 

A JavaScript application which can be executed in both a browser and a non-browser runtime. This was the first term used to describe this concept, but "Universal JavaScript" now has wider acceptance. Mathematicians and functional programmers will scoff at you if you use "isomorphic" to describe JavaScript, so save face by using "universal" instead.
You aren't writing isomorphic JavaScript? Ha, you remind me of my old Java coworkers.

A jealous obsession felt by the few who, when around their friends who all have iPhones, have a fear of missing out on the many advantageous entertainment methods an iPhone has to offer over 'ye olde mobiles'.
(Two friends sitting on the same couch playing 'Words with Friends'...whilst a third friend sits in between, only with his primitive 'button phone' to keep him entertained)

Friend 1 (iPhone): Bullshit, there's no way what you just sent is a word, you made that up!....(enters a reply word to Friend 2). Suck on this fgt!

Friend 2 (iPhone): Haha you idiot, you're guessing this shit as much as I am!

Friend 3 (Non-iPhone): -_- (wondering wtf is going on) ...man I got some serious iFomo.

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.

Person B: "Wow, EBK."

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.
Democrat 1: What is your prediction for the 2024 presidential election?
Democrat 2: Well uh, Blexas!
Democrat 1: You've been saying that since 2008 though.
