Also known as 'Show Me The Money', SMTM is South Korea's first and only rap competition broadcasted on national television. SMTM is brought to you by MNET, which is a South Korean pay television music channel owned by CJ E&M.

Many consider SMTM to be why hip-hop has become as popular as it has in Korea. Hip-hop in Korea was almost unseen and unnoticed up until the first season of SMTM aired in 2012.

In SMTM, rappers are judged based on their skill by four pairs of judges (Note: Judges are eight of South Korea's most prominent K-Hip-Hop rappers, singers, and or producers.)

Rappers are to be eliminated each episode by failing or passing difficult challenges presented to them that help show the judges who has the talent and stamina to be the winner. The winner walks away with anywhere from 100,000 - 200,000 USD.

SMTM is currently hosted by Kim Jin Pyo and has seven seasons in its collection. Winners are as listed below.
S01: Loco of AOMG
S02: Soul Dive
S03: Bobby of IKON
S04: Basick
S05: BeWhY
S06: Hangzoo of Rythm Power
S07: TBA

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.

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."
