Thinsplaining 

An incredibly idiotic way for people who believe in "thin privilege" make skinny women seem like jerks for sharing their experiences with skinny shaming, generally used in "body positive" tumblr blogs .
"omg yesterday I was talking about how I was bullied for my weight and Sarah actually tried to tell me that she was bullied for her weight to, the skinny bitch!1!1"

"omg thinsplaining is sooo real"

thinsplaining 

A thinsplainer will tell you about all the woes of being skinny that we already know and sympathize with, only to invalidate your problems. They are naturally skinny people who start quacking about it only when anyone heavier talks about their problems. Similar to men who only bring up men's problems to invalidate women's problems.

This is so that they too. can have the joy of taking part in the oppression Olympics, since they often get left out, due to conforming to society's standards of beauty.

After whining about how oppressed they are, they go back to eating whatever they want and not gaining a pound. Usually a woman.
I was talking about how it's easier for skinny and pretty girls to get what they want, when Skinny Nelly started thinsplaining how hard it is when people don't take you seriously because you're so pretty.

twinsplaining 

Complaining about any new episode of Twin Peaks by die-hard Twin Peaks fan that, well, expected a decent storyline from David Lynch compatible with his teenage memories. Average Twinsplainer is male, about fifty years old and never watched Twin Peaks, not even in his teens, but he does remember he watched something that resembled it and insists it WAS Twin Peaks, not just a dream.. You cannot get away with those tricks yet another time, David Lynch! is a favorite twinsplainer motto. Twinsplainers are the same people who don't own a tellie at every party, and yet think being glued to a computerscreen is somehow more esthetic.
Did you twinsplain yet about that new rift in the occult void?

O man Trump is really twinsplaining his way out of that press conference!

"Have you considered your grandparents are just spreading Nazi propaganda?"

"Please stop Tanksplaining history to me."

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.
