ThanXmas 

A combination of Thanksgiving and Christmas. Also known as The Holiday Season. ThanXmas is a span of time beginning around Halloween when retailers' Holiday campaigns' are in full swing and ending around the first week of the new year after the last Holiday sale concludes. Typically ThanXmas is disengaged from specific traditional or religious customs in that those who celebrate tend to forget the actual reason for the Holidays that are observed. ThanXmas or The Holiday Season is a result of advertising campaigns by major retailers that skew the meaning of the Holidays as to make the celebrations appropriate for people of all religions and ethnicities so they, the retailers, can sell more shit. A great example is "The Gift of Giving." Complete bullshit, doesn't even make sense.
Robert: So many people don't even realize that Halloween was a day of religious festivities in various northern European Pagan traditions, Thanksgiving Day is a celebration of the deliverance of the English settlers by Native Americans after the brutal winter at Plymouth, Massachusetts, Hanukkah is about the eternal flame at The Jewish Temple in Jerusalem and Christmas is the observed birthday of the Son of God, Jesus Christ.
Thomas: Dude, shut the fuck up, you're ruining my ThanXmas, I'm trying to get into the Holiday spirit.

Thankmas 

Thankmas is the transitional celebration between Thanksgiving and Christmas It's that time of year where we celebrate our mutual lack of things by being thankful for the things we don't have. (e.g....large random expensive dinners, embarrassingly large limos)

It is commonly celebrated by the purchasing of "gas station" food that closely resembles the traditional thanksgiving dinner. In place of the traditional turkey, you would have turkey jerky, dried cranberries, potato chips instead of mashed potatoes and danishes instead of pies (unless of course Walmart happens to have a sale on those cheap pies that are oh so very tasty.

There are Thankmas Carols, the gathering of imaginary present underneath the thankmas twig and the sharing of things we are thankful for not having.

The holiday season starts the day after thanksgiving and ends on the 30th of November.

We also have long mythical history associated with this festival going as far back as the first Thankmas with the arrival of Squanto Claus!
"Hey Jim, It's That hoopy time of year to be thankful for things we don't have"
"Oh that's right carl, It's Thankmas time again! Time to pull out the Thankmas Twig!"
"What are you thankful for not having?"
'I'm thankful that I don't have good friends"

A word used to describe the Thanksgiving/Christmas holiday season.

It is very clever because the shortening of Thanks is "Thanx", like how the youngsters do the textings and whatnot, while, at the same time, the "x"is the first letter of "X-mas".
It's February and my manager is already hounding me to submit my time-off requests for the Thanx-mas season, which is over 9 months away. I could literally conceive and become the father of an un-planned child during that time-frame, and he wants to know what my holiday plans are.

Thankmas 

Thanksgiving PLUS Christmas. Thanksgiving and Christmas are often so early and so intermixed, it's hard to tell them apart.
The day after Halloween, all the stores were decorated for the season of Thankmas with Turkeys and Christmas trees.

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.
