The Full Manhattan 

Giving someone the total up and down scan and back again
"Did he even see you:"
"See me? Heck yes. He gave me the full Manhattan"
"Really? He checked you out from head to toe?"
"Yes. And back again. That's why it's the FULL Manhattan"

Dr. Manhattan 

A fictional superhero from Alan Moore's comic Watchmen who is completely blue. He is uneffected by natural laws such as gravity, and has blue man junk with which he has banged many women such as the Silk Spectre ( a fellow crime fighter). He also prefers to go around stark naked.
If you really need an example, go to a Borders or something and ask for a worthwhile comic. (Apparently I have to write "Dr. Manhattan" for this to work. So here)

Manhattan Shade

The act of lowering your own rent by charging new roommates more.

Person 2: "Nah, I'm pulling the Manhattan Shade on my two new roommates...they're each paying $400 more than the guys who moved out. Suckas."

Manhattan Free Shit Zombie 

Because they pay a fortune to share a one bedroom apartment with Craigslist dipshits, buy 15 dollar martinis and 5 dollar coffees, expensive shoes, clothes or “man bags,” many of the younger denizens of Manhattan are usually broke. Because of their penury, which they are loath to admit, this group will turn to free or very inexpensive events to kid themselves that they're having a good time living in the overly expensive and neurotic shithole they call home.

Use of websites like Group On and Meetup is common. When a free venue is found (Free days at the museum, gratis concerts, movies and plays in the park, esoteric bullshsit lectures) they will turn into shuffling zombies, pack these venues to the rafters and squash any bit of fun you might have by inducing claustrophobia or annoying you with their "Got to crowd every little bit of experience into my fabulous life" insanity. When you see these people waiting on lines a block long they look like something out of a George Romero film.

Shooting these zombies though the head, although the preferred zombie eradication method, will usually lead to incarceration in a penal institution. Avoidance is the best tactic. And the only way to steer clear of Manhattan Free Shit Zombies is to go to events and venues that charge a fee. Any event with a price tag of over twenty dollars is usually sufficient to repel them.
Dylan – “Say, you want to go to the Guggenheim and check out the new exhibit? They don’t charge admission on Sunday night.”

Roger – “Fuck that shit. The place will be crawling with Manhattan Free Shit Zombies. Lets go have dinner at a nice restaurant instead. They can’t afford that."

Sally – “Want to go to Governor’s Island and catch that free reggae concert?”

Hilary – “Free shit. Must have…….”

Manhattan 

One of the most expensive places to live on the planet, but presently the center of the Universe, much like Rome was during the Roman Empire.
The average price for a 2 bedroom apartment in Manhattan is $1.4 million. (2004)

Mallhattan 

What Manhattan has become since the Giuliani era... Little more than corporate outposts, a Starbuck's on every corner, and a place of employment for all those who commute from the other four boroughs.
In Mallhattan, we have a K-Mart just off the subway in the East Village; a Home Depot in Chelsea; an IKEA threatening to wipe out Red Hook in Brooklyn; and a Barnes & Noble or Borders replacing every cool bookstore you ever visited.

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.
