Slackmester
A period of time during a school year when academic responsibilities are pushed aside in favor of non-academic pursuits. In slacker terms, an entire semester of going to the bar every night instead of studying. See also, alcoholism.
While it may happen at any point in a college, graduate, or high school career, typically a slackmester occurs in the last semester of a given school period, when students suddenly realize how pointless hard work really is.

slackstake
A slackstake describes what happens when you go to write something on Slack, typically making use of an extension, app, or integration particular to that technology (like inserting a relevant Giphy) that doesn't turn out exactly as planned or intended.
Examples include wanting to send a Giphy that illustrates your point but then sending a Giphy that doesn't really make sense or increases confusion. Similarly, going to type the correct keyboard shorthand to generate a desired emoji, but not typing it correctly and hitting send too quickly so that it doesn't generate the emoji but just sends the jumble of symbols.
Slackstakes typically occur as a result of typos and being too quick with the keyboard, but the term can also extend to doing things like DMing the wrong person, including someone in a group DM or channel that shouldn't be there, or really just committing any mistake in Slack that is iconic of and/or ironic for the medium of communication.
The word is a sandwich of "Slack" and "Mistake".

"Oh Becky pulled the funniest slackstake yesterday when she sent Brian a Giphy of a Beluga Whale when she was telling him how much she loves Orcas and how she knows everything about them. Didn't even know she sent the wrong whale until we pointed it out!"
"Oh yeah, John got fired because he sent Maria a promiscuous set of emojis via Slack. Granted, it was not during business hours, but that's still a huge slackstake, if you know what I mean."

Frothability
The measure of an emotional and over zealous consumer in an upwardly charging market, also known as a bull market. It's characterized by rising asset prices, increased investor confidence, and favorable growth in the markets, bro.
The frothability was evident as over-zealous consumers eagerly engaged in bidding wars, driving property prices to unsustainable levels reminiscent of previous speculative bubbles.

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.

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.
