Mechanicking

(Noun) A sexual act that involves, from beginning to end, the recipient on all fours and then placing their palms flat against the wall facing them or grabbing hold of a bed's headboard while the giving party slides partially underneath them and places recipient's cock in their mouth and begins the much needed stimuli. Then the giver also begins anal simulation with fingers on hand. Throughout the act the giver may slide back or forward alternating the stimulation they are giving using their mouth and tongue on the cock, testicles, and asshole at their own discretion but not leaving any of the parts unstimulated. The action is usually concluded by the woman penetrating asshole with her finger (as if she hasn't already) at the apex of stimulation resulting in the recipient coming hard while inside the giver's mouth whete it is traditionally consumed posthaste.
Nikki appealed to Betsy, "Lover I am in need of a serious tune up, maybe even sn oil change. Do you think maybe tonight you could do some mechanicking on me to try and fix the problem?" Clearly aggravated, Betsy looked down at her phone and saw that one of her dope connections relayed to her not too long ago that if she wanted any of the candy he had for her it was going to cost her the regular going rate of both anal sex and A blow job, in that order, when she snapped, "I don't know, Goddammit, I swear all you ever think about is sex. Everything is not about you and your stupid cock".

mechanic's special 

A vehicle listed as a "mechanic's special" on craigslist appears to be, at first glance, a remarkable deal. A mechanic's special is usually a vehicle listed far below its blue book value, with a few minor issues outlined that any competent backyard mechanic can easily diagnose and fix. This problems are usually referred to only in the vaguest of terms, such as a "clunking sound coming from the transmission" or "hissing sound from the radiator."

Of course, these problems turn out to be much more severe - such as a blown headgasket, thrashed transmission, detonated cylinder, and the like. The odometer reading is often conspicuously absent from the reading. The owner will often feign ignorance about vehicles in hopes of getting rid of it at a good price, but actually are often competent car people themselves.

The only valid use for a mechanic's special is as a parts vehicle, and only then once the owner has been talked down to a reasonable price.

pod person 

A person pretending to be something they aren't, or an impostor. This is inferred because of the old alien movies where alien pods appear on earth and the "pod people" dispose of the humans and slowly reproduce the bodies, pretending to be humans.

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.
