Kingston-upon-Thames
A great town in SW London, not in Surrey as someone else wrote. in fact, it hasn't been in Surrey since 1965, when they created Greater London. Has Kingston University, many good shops, pubs, and several large nightclubs. And the river Thames, of course. This is particularly popular with drunken students of a weekend in summer, who either sit beside it at one of the many riverside pubs, drinking, or, fall in and drown, or catch Weil's disease from the water coming from the sewage works farther up the Hogsmill river, which convieniently joins it near the aforesaid riverside pubs.
Did you you get accepted into Oxford uni then? No, but even better, I'm going to Kingston-upon-Thames!
Say for your 21st, let's go to Oceana in Kingston!

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.

Blexas
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.
