Novinian
Excerpt below from Carson's book, On A Hill They Call Capital:
"Cat finally got up and made his way back to the van, and slowly each man did in turn. We wound our way out of the world of the Novinians (who we call Northern Virginians) and back to the real Virginia. Cat usually explains it this way – Novinians are kind of like Martians. They can live amongst us – but we know who they are. They don’t talk or act like Virginians, they don’t prescribe to our “slow down, it’ll be alright” mentality, they use their horns for things other than waving, and they all scramble to be just like everyone else. We understand where the state line technically is, but most people wouldn’t claim anything north of Manassas as real Virginia anymore."

dead drop
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.

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.

Blexas
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.
