The Elbow 

The sore elbow of LeBron James helping to lead to the Cleveland Cavalier's collapse against the Boston Celtics of the 2010 Eastern Conference Semifinals. The Elbow joins The Drive, The Fumble, The Shot, The Catch, Red Right 88 and Edgar Renteria's Single on the list of bad memories of Cleveland sports fans that help symbolize their 40+ year title drought.
Matt: Dude, are you going to the Cavs game today?

John: Nah man, I still can't get over The Elbow.

Matt: Dude that was a long ass time ago.

John: Maybe so but since we still haven't won a 'ship since the Browns in 1964.

Matt: Yeah, and that wasn't even a Superbowl.

John: ...I hate my life...

the elbow rule 

The rule stating that unless you can put your arms around a girl, hug her, and are able to tougch your own elbows, the girl is to be discarded and a new one should be found.

Freinds of drunk freinds should learn to apply this rule when drunk vision makes the drunk freind envision the unworthy girl who is 50 pounds less than she is.

and of course use common sense too. if you are apporaching midget size, vida guerrera wouldn't fit so midgets can use the finger rule. And Yao ming's can use the bicep rule.

p.s. if the girl is a hog beast then the rule no longer applies and for your dignities sake you should find another girl.
After careful examination of the elbow rule i realized that wendy, whom i had been going out with for 2 years, did not apply as a good candidate and therefore, it was imperative to dump her on the spot with no reason why.

Watch the Elbow 

During the act of a high five, if one is having trouble, all he need do is "Watch the Elbow." If two people are going for a high five and both look at the others elbow, the chances of a "miss" decreses nearly 100%. It will work with less precision if only one person watches the elbow.
"Hey man, thanks for the great party, watch the elbow!" Proceed with a perfect high five

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.

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.
