Playing up
Trying to make somebody feel 9 feet tall and invincible, or at least thinking you've made them feel that way.
The guy knew that the teacher's spy/teacher's pet was trying to play up to him even though the teacher's pet was not his pet or darling, so really it wasnt a good job of playing up, but he/she still thought that he/she was playing up to him and that he was going for it or falling for it for some reason. He also knew the teacher's pet well, so he didnt have to measure anything, since people dont change. Just like the walls on a building can warp and the measurements of the wall can change some, but the building is the same overall building it always was since it was built, even if their are additions, renovations, or parts missing, the overall building is the same building until it collapses or gets demolished, people also can seem different, seem to change form, but really they're the same overall people they were as kids. If they were a poser as a kid, they're still posing as something different all the time, appearing to change. People who think that everything needs to be measured to know anything about it, or to know it well are missing the point.

Playing straight up
1. To play a game WITHOUT the use or interference of 'general bullshit', advanced techniques, or anything that takes away from the casual-player experience. 2. Playing WITHOUT any outside influence, tool-assistance, or additional game knowledge. 3. To play a game in its purest form and at face-value WITHOUT any consideration to how your decisions will affect your chances of winning.
Examples of NOT playing straight up:
1) Picking an overpowered champion/character you don't enjoy simply because it increases your chances of winning.
2) Assigning hotkeys to mouse buttons for inputs that are already accessible by default on the keyboard.
3) Watching a youtube tutorial on an advanced mechanic with the intention of using it in the game.
4) Utilizing any training or sandbox mode for the purpose of improving.
5) Using forums to find glitches/shortcuts/optimizations that improve time trials.
6) Backing down from a fight/battle because it hurts your chances of winning.
Examples of playing straight up:
1) Sending out pokemon without looking at the moveset/abilities and getting it straight into battle.
2) Playing a racing game with the unmodified stock vehicle while using only the brake and acceleration buttons for the entirety of the match.
3) Having an absolute slugfest of a game without any concern for what is happening and who is winning.
4) Knowingly producing an army of inferior units simply because they are your favorite, even if it's easily countered.
In a sentence -
"Hey you should lower the shading in your graphic settings, it makes the enemies easier to see." "I'm good man, I don't care about that shit, I'm just playing straight up."
"You ever tune that thing to a major 3rd or 5th?" "Nah man. I don't fuck around with that shit, I play straight up".
"I was trying to have a clean game and enjoy myself but he refused to play straight up"

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.
