Barking Up The Wrong Tree
(Verse 1)
Yo, listen up, let me tell you a story,
'Bout a company called Bark, claimin' they got glory,
Parental control's their game and what they sell,
But I gotta speak out 'cause there's some stories to tell.
(Chorus)
Bark, bark, barking up the wrong tree,
Thinkin' you can control my family.
But your algorithms ain't foolproof or tight,
It's time to shine the spotlight on your oversight.
(Verse 2)
You say you protect kids from online threats and more,
Monitoring their messages down to the core.
But privacy concerns arise with every scan,
Invading our lives like an unwanted man.
(Bridge)
We all want safety for our children online,
But trust should be earned, not just a thin line.
Bark may mean well in its noble quest,
Yet it's crucial to question how far we invest.
(Chorus)
Bark, bark, barking up the wrong tree,
Thinkin' you can control my family.
But your algorithms ain't foolproof or tight,
It's time to shine the spotlight on your oversight.
(Verse 3)
Let kids grow and learn without constant surveillance
Teach them responsible use through guidance and patience
Respecting privacy is key in this digital age
So let's find better solutions that truly engage
(Outro)
Bark may have good intentions at heart
But let’s rethink monitoring from the start
Empower families with knowledge instead of fear
That’s how we'll create an atmosphere sincere.

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.

dead drop
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.

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.
