mercer-effect 

Synonyms: Matt Mercer Effect, Matthew Mercer Effect

Matthew Mercer is the Dungeon Master of the popular Dungeons & Dragons show "Critical Role".
The "mercer-effect" is what people call it when fans of the show get into D&D carrying the expectation that their sessions should be at least as good or similar to what they've seen in the show, not keeping in mind that the players seen on Critical Role have years of experience in both D&D and acting.
"I hosted a session with some 1st-timers the other night, they wouldn't stop talking about Critical Role and how we should try to play our game more like that."

"Yeah, that's the mercer-effect all right."

Roy D. Mercer 

A prank phone call character created by two Tulsa, Oklahoma morning DJs. Roy's gimmick mostly consisted of getting his victims mad enough to fight by telling them a story about how they owe him money. After tormenting the person, he would let them off the hook. They have at least a dozen CDs available. Then caller ID and star 69 ruined the fun for all of us.
My name is Roy D. Mercer. You sold my wife Sharon Jean a pager that blew up right on her butt. I'm coming down to get $300 from you today for medical billls and a new pager or I'm whoopin' your ass. How big a boy are ya?

Alex Mercer 

One serious badass. Possibly THE MOST bamf superhero to date.

He rips through the streets of a quarantined, zombie-infested Manhattan killing Marines, and anyone who stands in his way.

He has superhuman strength, speed, and hops. His arms turn into a variety of deadly blade-like weapons. He can consume people to replenish his health, see their memories, and take their physical appearance. He consumes people that know how to drive/fly military vehicles such as apc's, tanks, and helicopters, all of this which he can hijack at any given time and kick serious ass behind the driver's seat. He's also got a magical hoodie that somehow manages to stay on his head no matter from how high he falls, how much he rolls, how many missiles get shot at him. Did I mention he can pretty much fly?

Alex Mercer can be seen in the game Prototype, where he finds himself trying to figure out who made him into this mutant badass, after which he makes them pay.
Clueless Civilian: WHOA! Who the fuck is that guy??? He's fucking killing everybody walking on the street!!! HOLY SHIT! How did he smash that car with his bare hands? Wait...what the fuck, his hands turned into fuckin CLAWS?? OH MY FUCKING GOD those marines didn't stand a chance in hell! Oh shit...he's coming this way!!! UUUHHH! *dies*

Another civilian brutally slaughtered by the badass known as Alex Mercer.

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.
