A video of a man (I think a rival cartel member) laying on the ground with his hands tied behind his back wearing nothing but his underwear and several rival cartel members are standing around him . One of them wearing an Adidas hat cuts his chest open with a hunting knife and his organs start coming out and you can see his lung moving when he breathes . He is pumped with adrenaline to keep him from going into shock or passing out but also so he feels everything . Then the guy with the Adidas hat cuts piece of his heart out and eats it . This video is from Mexico.
Guy 1 : Hey you wanna watch a shock video ?
Guy 2 : You mean like 2 girls 1 cup or 1 man 1 jar ?
Guy : 1 No something very very disturbing .

Guy 2 : What could be more disturbing ?

Guy : 1 You ever watch Sponsored By Adidas.

sponsored content 

Ads that have adapted to adblockers, and became "real" stories about saving 15 percent or more on car insurance. Also the 265th episode of South Park.
I just want to watch the news, but then I'm looking at an ad. I try to click the x, but it turns out its a link for the top ten worst celebrity plastic surgeries ever. So as I'm looking through it I get another ad leading to a slideshow on money making hacks even though it isn't even a hack, leading me to another ad, but I just want to know about the presidential campaign, but when I try to go back it turns out its a link to some sponsored content about Geico. And then the cycle repeats.

sponsored IPO 

(FINANCE) an initial public offering of stock in a company by a private equity fund that already owns it.

ILLUSTRATION
Suppose we have a company, HCA, that currently a publicly traded corporation. Now, some people with a lot of money arrange to borrow even more money, buy ALL the stock in HCA, and then turn it into a private corporation. All of the shares of stock are withdrawn and the company no longer has to publish its financial data with the SEC.

In theory, the new ownership can totally restructure the management; invest in new assets; divest old assets; retrain staff; or otherwise refurbish HCA so it does its job better and more cheaply. After doing this, it sells the new HCA to the public for much more than it paid for it, and everyone comes out a winner.

In practice, PE fund raids HCA to the tune of $2.5 billion and saddles it with the gigantic finance costs of its own LBO. Investors think they're buying a set percentage of HCA when they buy shares, but they're really just extending the process of vacuuming cash from the pockets of investors.
MIKE: So I hear that KKR and Bain Capital are selling HCA back to the public. A new IPO, huh?

MARGARET: Avoid it. Ordinary IPO's by companies going public for the first time are doing much better.

MIKE: But that's crazy! It's a sponsored IPO! By KKR and Bain Capital! It's got to be good! They'll still own most of HCA afterward, so they'll do what it takes to make sure the price stays high.

MARGARET: No, they don't care what the share price does so long as they get your money out of you. In the meantime, they've looted the company in the most inefficient way possible: using an LBO financed with junk bonds.

MIKE: Ouch, I guess my head is glad I talked to you about it but my heart is a greasy stain in the pavement.

sponsored content 

Snonym for advertisement or click-bait. Also called "promoted content", to trick the people who *finally* figured out sponsored content also means "bullshit follows".

It's usually some picture completely out of context for the advert, just there to draw your attention to the fraudlent, errr, sponsored content. These spurious pictures used to bounce around in their frames, before the Geneva Convention outlawed those mechanisms (and HTML flash tags) as crimes against humanity.

Underneath each spurious photo will be a partial headline designed to create a curiosity or "intellectual" itch that needs to scratched. For instance, "Doctors recommend that all parents of three headed babies do this..". Sometimes these lies, err, partial headlines are keyed to you location, in order to astonish you that something "important" is happening nearby. For instance "If you live near Ulan Bator, your mortgage could be paid...". Sponsored content usually appears in groups of four to six turds, or frames, at the end of an article. Nowadays, a real story may lurk in the fecal matter, to try to fool you into clicking on one of the nearby stools.
1) Never click on sponsored content; it can summon the devil, or something even more evil from Taboola!

2) "Sponsored content" is related to "useful" as "Jussie Smollett" is to "truthful".

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.

Soul digger

A man who dates women with the sole purpose of exploiting their time, energy, and labor while he sucks the joy and happiness from their lives.

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.
