An exclamation used equally in times of excitement and frustration, designed to cause a similar feeling in the one to whom it has been said, yet utterly failing to do so. Originally used in Jane Austen's 'Pride and Prejudice'
1) Anger: ie, upon finding out your husband has just told your daughter he will never speak to her again should she marry someone you feel is a suitable match: "Oh, Mr BENNET!"
2) Delight: ie, upon finding your daughter is going to marry one of the most eligible men in the country, although he may own the miserable half of Derbyshire: "Oh, Mr BENNET!"
Named for the British TV show of the same name, it is the act of waking up hungover in a strange place with no recollection of how you got there (and optionally in different clothing than you left in)
This originates from the plot outline of each episode of Mr Benn being that the titular character would enter a magical clothes shop, get changed in a changing room, then exit to a new different place
Oh Trev! I ended up doing a Mr Benn last night and woke up in London! We started drinking in Aberdeen!
The measure of an emotional and over zealous consumer in an upwardly charging market, also known as a bull market. It's characterized by rising asset prices, increased investor confidence, and favorable growth in the markets, bro.

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."
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.
