Strait of Hormuz

An act of unchecked aggressive imperialist dominance on a public toilet.

A imperialist pooper makes multiple dense hard wads of toilet paper and flushes them all at once to create a difficult clog in the pipe thus "closing the strait."
The unchecked pooper (or next unknowing citizen) then drops a massive chud that can't be flushed because the toilet is clogged. The turd spins around aimlessly like a stranded tanker ship at sea as the water rises. Eventually after too many flushes, the water and turd will overflow onto the floor creating a crisis.

Diplomatic measures must be taken to stop the overflow and open the strait by physically removing the large turd by hand. Then disposing it in a trash can or by throwing it out an open window. Negotiators are then brought in with plumbing tools to open the strait by removing the clog.
Ed: "Hey Mike, I need you to get down here now. We have a Strait of Hormuz situation in the #112 Denny's bathroom!"

Mike: "Not again! I'm calling corporate. Another imperialist unchecked trucker must have been disappointed with the service."

Ed: "Yes! Deb said he hated the waffles and threatened to make a massive unflushable shit in the bathroom. He yelled it infront of multiple families with children dinning in."

Mike: "Dear God! How big is the shit and is the water overflowing?"

Ed: "Yes! The tanker sized turd is one more flush away from from capsizing onto the floor."

Mike: "Ed, your going to have to grab the turd with your bare hands and put it in the trash can to save this franchise. Do it now! I just called corporate to send in negotiators to open the strait. They are on the way.

Ed: "The turd is in my hand! It's heavy Mike! Dropping it in the trash can now. It must be 15 pounds!"

Mike: "You're a real hero Ed! I'm giving you a raise so you'll make $10 an hour now. Negotiators are on the way. Hopefully no more unchecked imperialist truckers full of shit will close the strait again."

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.
