Thumblast 

Origin - Social Media jargon in association to private messaging apps, primarily, including but not limited to, Facebook.

1.) Verb - An easter egg planted in messenger by the app developer, whereby, the 'accidental' press of the "thumb's up" (👍) icon on the keyboard submits a ridiculously huge "thumb's up", also known as being thumbusted within the message thread as an embarrassing notification alert that one party of the relative conversation is:

a.) Currently cyber stalking the other party by checking the last time they were online

b.) Currently retracing the history of conversation with anxiety wondering why it is taking the other party so long to respond

c.) Currently actively engaged in behaviors such as the dot watch of the other party, thereby hinting at the perfect opportunity for dot-taunting.

ex. "It has been two hours since he responded, so I got worried. I check that his status was 'active 7 minutes ago'. I got even more anxious, so I was pressing on my lasy messages to check if they had been seen. That's when it happened. I accidentally hit the (👍) as I was scrolling, and Messenger totally just put me on thumblast!"

thumbsturbate

A masturbatory technique characterized by the use of a single thumb as the sole agent of action. Requiring high levels of mental focus and physical stamina, this ergonomically problematic style of masturbation is exceptionally inefficient, as the thumb provides little stimulation and success is dependent on the performer's ability to non-bodily induce ejaculation. It is also known to cause weather to change wildly, likely due to the disturbance of the laws of nature involved in the process. Citied as a major cause of global warming and climate change.

It has only been performed successfully once in recorded history, at high cost to both the user and the environment.

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.
