MTV's The Real World

MTV's The Real World: a drunken roommate sleeps with her best friend's boyfriend and the next morning, gets into an ugly fight with her friend. The production team breaks it up, the camera turns to clips of ambulances arriving at the house, and a week after it happened they act like nothing ever happened.

The actual real world: the friend sues the roommate on assault, battery, & defamation charges. The roommate is forced to work 1 full-time job and 2 part-time jobs in order to pay for the court settlement & a cheap apartment right next to the airport in order to get by.

mtv sucks! 

The golden chalice of truth that descends upon the millions of unsuspecting, young, insecure American individuals who are being bludgeoned by the credulous infection of bad, boring, baseless media, slipping into their brains like noxious slime, teaching them to consume, fuck, and paint themselves like mannequins, and ultimately refusing them their manifestation of that that is truly youthful: REBELLION.
mtv sucks! is the best antibiotic for our nation's youth, mtv sucks! will expose you to the wonderful strands of music that exist outside of the public eye, mtv sucks! will dose you and make you question reality in the year 2007.

MTV syndrome 

The phenomenon based upon the advent of the music video. At the time when the Music Television channel started, an arist's popularity was usually directly proportional to their talent.
The MTV Syndrome has led to the steady reversal of that.

before MTV: Aretha Franklin, Jimi Hendrix, Led Zepplin, Stevie Wonder, The Beatles, Rolling Stones
after MTV: Milli Vanilli, Ashlee and Jessica Simpson, nSync, Spice Girls, etc.
Say, have you seen the new video by My Chemical Romance?

No, I refuse to be part of the MTV Syndrome.

MTV Jersey Shore 

Yet another TV show / film that makes New Jersey look bad. This time, MTV is the creator and Seaside Heights is the setting. Instead of filming a show about people who are actually from the Jersey Shore, they focus on the stereotypical fist-pumping, spikey-haired, roid-shooting, shirtless guidos who travel down from New York in the summer.
JOHN FROM BELMAR, NJ:

"MTV Jersey shore was on again last night. You see it?"

MIKE FROM LONG BRANCH, NJ:

"No... I can't stand that fuckin show."

JOHN:

"Me neither."

MIKE:

"Yeah, fuck that show. If we see any film crews at the beach next summer, lets start a riot on the boardwalk."

JOHN:

"Now that would be a show worth watching..."

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."

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.
