The hell hole known as a fanbase for popular YouTuber dorks Dan Howell and Phil Lester. Many members of the phandom ship phan

The phandom is a crazy community full of over analysists and people from the ages 12-21 who come for the cute boys and English accents and stay for the accidental innuendos and existential crisis.

And remember, don't cry, craft.
Becky: "Oh my god the phandom is everywhere, they're so fucking annoying."

Jessica: Shut up, Becky! No one asked you! *hugs copy of The Amazing Book Is Not On Fire*

Also known as the Phamily. They're fans of the popular YouTubers AmazingPhil and danisnotonfire and have tenancies to draw cat whiskers on their faces in either sharpie or eyeliner. Dan's side of the fandom tends to have more "internet drama" (Arguments over pointless things and blowing teeny-tiny comments out of proportion) while Phil's tends to be more sweet and innocent. Both sides have their own respective animal, Dan liking llamas and Phil liking lions. Dan also likes placentas and Delia Smith (For some reason) and Phil's fans draw him naked even though he's the innocent one but it makes sense.
Louise: Have you seen Dan and Phil's new collab Halloween Brownies video on Phil's channel? It gave me so many feels!
Beth: Oh my god, I know! I was on tumblr until 6AM blogging about it! I was half asleep at school, but it was worth it. The Phandom was so funny about it, too.

The phandom is a group of fans for two YouTube stars called danisnotonfire and amazingphil.

The phandom have many different platforms to base themselves around. Twitter, Instagram, Tumblr, Vine, Facebook and the most important, YouTube.

No group of fans from any social media platform are better than the other. They all seem to disagree with one another so it causes a shitstorm.
Normal person: do Dan and Phil have like a special fan club or something?
Member of the phandom: yeah it's called the phandom!

Normal person: so if you like Dan and Phil, you are in the phandom?

Member of phandom: HELLZ YEAH!

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.
