Jerkin' is basically two things: it's both a "dance" movement and "music genre". Originating in northern California in 2008, "jerkin'" has infected the minds of our youth, and is also a big reason why our youth is brainwashed, clueless and imbecilic, and this is coming from a teen. The people who jerk are the usual every day degenerates who we should look down upon, and simply omit. Their moronic creation of a genre is simply made from a computer, thus proving everyone in the world why jerkin' is a pointless fad and possibly the worst genre of "music" that has surfaced the earth. Jerkin' lyrics are basically something like this: "do it, jerk jerk, do it, jerk jerk" or "ima lick that pussy clean, while i jerk and eat an ice cream".

JERKIN' by AIOKI April 24, 2008
A new dance in urban centers of Southern California involving jumping around to hip hop, using back peddling motions as you would on a bicycle, dipping down to the ground and jumping back up, and straining your knees so they roll inward like in the "tootsie roll." It has a few movements from the "Crip Walk" and several dances all rolled into the "Jerk."

1. An urban dance style originally started in Cali that became a nation wide phenomena over night.Crews name themselves after pop culture references and frequently call each other out over Youtube videos.

One can wear anything when jerkin. Some crews prefer skinny jeans and brightly colored clothing.It is predominatly a male dance- though some females have been known to jerk.

During the videos, one can see a large amount of wherever the jerkers are as they seem to dance any and everywhere which has added to jerkins overall appeal.

Special jerkin music is used but you can jerk to anything if you want.

jerkin by Dr.Jerky and Mr. Hyde April 24, 2009
Originating in the northern part of California, jerkin is an urban dance style for the youth that's starting an epidemic around the nation. Evolving from the famous East-Coast juke dancing, jerkin is a similar dance style that involves minor footwork, extreme bending at the knees, and being "geeked up." You can see people doing it at any house party or after school or even in a parking lot.
-"We havin' a party tonight, you guys comin?!"

-"You guys gonna be jerkin?!"

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.
