St. Charles Preparatory School 

An all-boys Roman Catholic preparatory high school in Columbus, Ohio. It's a hell hole where you are a slave to your grades and college preparation, working about 4 hours every night on homework after an 8 hour school day. Students frequently slap each others asses and nonchalantly talk about sucking each others dicks. Teachers are high quality but can make your life even more of a living hell if aggravated. If you want to throw away the remainder of your childhood but ensure yourself a place in the work place, Saint Charles is the school for you.

Person 2: "Yeah?"
Person 1: "Don't you care about girls?"

Cistercian Preparatory School 

A preparatory school based in Irving, that has systematically cultured depression, being antisocial, having anxiety, and gay habits. It is also known for having no racial diversity, as most of the population is composed of white baseball and football players. Although Cistercian markets itself to be a academically rigorous school, the students are actually just a bunch of boys whose main goal is to procrastinate. A well known motto known throughout the school is, “it’s not how smart you are, it’s how good you are at hiding your stupidity.”

However, the students are not to blame for this occurrence. If put in any other school they would blossom greatly. Many of them have great talent. However, when put under the rigorous and painful liberal arts education that is Cistercian, the students fold and are churned into cubicle-like workers.
Jimmy: “Why so down Timmy?”
Timmy: “Cistercian Preparatory School is killing me. We were born free but in here we are in chains.”

World Journalism Preparatory School 

A school that runs from grades 6-12.

A sad excuse for a school. Run by a stumpy, Jewish women who has no regard for what really happens inside the classroom. Mostly Greek teachers that boast their gold crosses and pronounce students name with emphases on the ''rrrrrr' or '' ssss''.

That aside, another flaw would include the nauseating e-portfolio system we are forced to use. There is no point and I hear now that report cards will no longer be in use.

Uniforms include vulgar khaki's and pasty white polos. They are un-flattering to even the most beautiful of all genders. Parents, this school teaches nothing...your kids education is at risk!
Man, she's an idiot...and look at her clothes!

Yeah, she goes to that World Journalism Preparatory School...

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.
