Otherground 

The place where true heads reside, heads who understand that, what some of the elements of the Media have dubbed as "youth culture", are not fads. They are in fact their own established cultures, aren't for the youth only, and are here to stay.

The underground is dead, and the mass media has killed it. Television, magazines and the ability to reach the world with one click of a mouse made the term underground obsolete.

The concept behind Otherground is it isn't about any scene in itself. It's about the essence of what so called "youth cultures" are based on. It's for the people who understand what it is to lead a life that's outside of the norm. Even though the ideals may be different from scene to scene, it's always been about self-expression and the DIY ethic.

The trinity of Othergound is:

Art
Music
Philosophy
He went mainstream, but hes still down with the Otherground.

overground 

It being related to music is the only correct part of the last definition. A level reached by few, overground is when an underground artist becomes so popular that they can no longer be called underground. I would say that any underground artist who sells 1 mill+ copies of any one of their albums can be considered overground.
Tech N9ne, Tecca Nina, and Aaron Yates are the only overground artists that come to mind. . . they are all the same person if you didn't catch that.

Other Ground Forum 

The Other Ground Forum, or "OG" is an internet haven for
a wide cross section of losers who enjoy watching Mixed Martial Arts as well as jacking to animal porn.

Most OG members still live with their parents.
John and Tommy wanted to go see a movie and then hit Dairy Queen, but I decided to stay home and post "Hit It?" pictures on the Other Ground Forum all night.

Overground 

adj.
The opposite of underground.

More oftenly referred to as mainstream or commercial.

Used to describe music (usually rap/hip hop) that is played on the radio just to sell records, as opposed to being quality music.

Above the earth

Often instead of saying 'overground music' it is simplified to just 'overground' or 'the overground'.

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.
The pod person was pretending to be my father, but I knew that he was an alien when he acted differently than my father ever would have.

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."
