pretendies 

Slang for mid-grade pot. Short for "pretend kind" buds. Usually a kind strain but poorly grown or accidently allowed to germinate from male plants. Still better than schwag, but not as good as kind. Going rates in Boulder, CO..

kind bud...$50 per 1/8th ounce. Very nice. No seeds. Smells/tastes great. 1-3 hits should do you. See Northern Lights.

Pretendies...$100 per ounce. Usually green and fluffy. Perhaps some seeds. Smells/tastes good. May need 2-5 hits for nice groove. Sometimes called beesters.

Schwag...$60 per ounce. Can be dark green or brown. Lots of seeds. Sometimes formed in brick squares. Smells/tastes earthy or like dirt. Will need 4+ hits to get high. Sometimes only produces headache.
Dude, I can't get any kind buds. How 'bout we buy some pretendies?

Pretendies

As of 2026 a company by the name Pro-Circa founded by J.R. DePew is the sole proprietor of the Pretendies marijuana strain.
The Pretendies strain of marijuana is a very potent Mexican Sativa.

How Pro-Circa Saved the Pretendies Strain:

In 1995 there was a specific type of top quality green bud going around the United States called Pretendies. At first glance Pretendies looked just like any of the indoor kind-bud strains going around. But Pretendies had seeds. Curious why there were seeds I looked further into the background of the Pretendies strain. I asked some trusted friends who were plugged into the Pretendies pipeline.
People who were supplying Pretendies to the mid-west US at this time explained to me how every year they take a Greyhound bus from Boulder Colorado to Tucson Arizona, pick up 20 pounds, and bring it back to Boulder to sell on the streets. This was my introduction to the Pretendies strain.

Mexico:
Pretendies is a 1990s Mexican cartel variety. Pretendies contained seeds because it was cultivated in large fields near Cancun’s tropical coastlines and then smuggled into the United States near Tucson Arizona. Pretendies flooded into Colorado in the mid to late 1990s and became a very popular strain within the Rocky mountain towns of Colorado. Pretendies was also especially beloved and well known by the hippie communities during this time period. Pretendies once popular and widely recognized on the streets slowly faded into obscurity by the early 2000s.
Pro-Circa is the only company currently cultivating the Pretendies strain.

Pretender 

A woman who initially attempts to give men the impression that she is a prude and does not indulge in casual sex, but behind closed doors, she is very kinky and more than willing to engage in short-term, non-monogamous 'casual' sex with a man.
Do you know Linda? Linda is a Pretender and a Closet Freak. When she is at church, she behaves as if she will not have sex unless she's married, but if she is attracted to you, she will have sex with you the same night you first make her acquaintance.

I hate women who are Pretenders. They act all innocent, wholesome, and sexually conservative in public, then later you find out that they have videos of themselves participating in an orgy.

I love seducing women who are Pretenders. When you talk dirty to them, at first they act offended ... but then minutes later, they will usually let you know that your erotic dirty talk has them turned on. They love to present a prudish façade to men in order to prevent being labeled a "slut" or a promiscuous whore

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.
