Stateotyping 

Stateotyping is when someone assumes something once you acknowledge where you might be from. This common mistake is generally made with college students.

It is better understood by looking at the two words that first melded into it.

State - another word for a territory occupied by one of the constituent administrative districts of a nation

Stereotyping - A conventional or formulaic conception or image of something; "regional stereotypes have been part of America since its founding
Example 1

Person 1: Hey where did you say your from again?
Person 2: Oh I'm from New York.
Person 1: The City?
Person 2: No...Upstate New York there are more places then the city you know
Person 1 now kinda looks like an idiot.
Person 2 assures them its just a Stateotype

Example 2

Person 1: You said your from Maryland right?
Person 2: Yeah how nice of you to remember.
Person 1: So your right by the beach right?
Person 2: No I actually live like two hours from the beach; Not everyone lives on or right by the beaches of Maryland
Person 1 again looks like an idiot in this scenario
Person 2 humbley says, "Your Stateotyping me I see"

Stereotyping 

Stereotyping is when you judge a group of people who are different from you based on your own and/or others opinions and/or encounters.
Guy 1: I met this hot chik from Hawaii
Guy 2: All women from Hawaii are sluts, I met one yesterday
Guy 3: You're just stereotyping. How can you judge an entire group of people based on one person?

Gender Stereotyping 

Many:::
\\Men aren't supposed to cry:

Men can cry, it doesn't make them a woman, or the so infamous "pussy". Crying is a form of expression; It's mainly for when someone is sad.//
\\Men are supposed to be tough:

Normally, if a man gets beat up by a woman, many call him a "pussy". Or if a man were to say fall, and show a form of pain(saying "ow" or to complain), he may be called "weak", or a "woman", or even a "pussy".//
\\Women are supposed to be nice and delicate:

This is not so common now(Jersey Shore, possibly YOUR mother). Women don't HAVE to be nice and delicate, though they have to be good-behaving(and so do men). Because, if a woman or a man isn't good-behaving she/he will be detested.//
\\Men start wars:

This is not true... or maybe it is true. Though, George Bush & Adolf Hitler were males who started wars, along with many others, it's not entirely true that men start wars. This is probably because of the so-called male agro hormone, that makes others think of men as war-starters.//
(/:)
Gender Stereotyping is not cool.
If a man cries, don't call him a pussy, a woman, or laugh.
Because it's not funny!

stereotyping 

The single most pointless use of Urban Dictionary.

**most stereotypes are true in some cases. some are mostly true, some not at all

there is also no point bitching about stereotypes, because in the end they are pretty harmless.

it just gets annoying as hell when people define something just in defense, but then go define something else with some obvious stereotype

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."

Texas is categorized as a swing state in presidential elections, but has voted for Republicans more times than for Democrats in recent history. As such, as demographics change political alignments, some Democrats believe that Texas will vote blue, or Democratic, due to their Hispanic and African American voters, who often align themselves with the Democratic Party's liberal wing.

Blexas has been cited as possible in the upcoming decades, but only if Democrats continue to win the Hispanic vote in bigger margins.
Democrat 1: What is your prediction for the 2024 presidential election?
Democrat 2: Well uh, Blexas!
Democrat 1: You've been saying that since 2008 though.
