Prostalgia 

(N.) The renaissance of culture and technology of the late 19th - mid 20th century, followed by "Prostalgia" or "Prostalgics". This culture movement is infused with modern day accommodations, and is based in the Baltimore, MD/Washington DC area, (which are major Hipster hot spots) and this movement is the classier brother of the hipster movement.

How to spot a prostalgic person;
What music they like, what they wear, and they're overall appearance tend to be that of your grandmother/father when they were young. These people tend to be confused with Hipsters, however, prostalgic people tend to uphold old values and ways of life, only using modern luxuries when strictly necessary. Prostalgic people also are connoisseurs of class, whereas hipsters have modern lifestyles infused with only a small bit of old world items.

Pure breakdown of prostalgic people to average people;

Avg. Person - 90% modern, 10% vintage
Hipsters - 80% modern, 15% vintage, 5% Starbucks
Prostalgics - +70% vintage, 30% modern

Here is an example of a Prostalgic being recognized at a cafe;
"Hey, is that a hipster over there at that cafe?" She asked.
"No, he's just prostalgia." He said.
"How do you know?"
"He's using a typewriter instead of a computer, see."

Soul digger

A man who dates women with the sole purpose of exploiting their time, energy, and labor while he sucks the joy and happiness from their lives.

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.
