Puppet, especially a puppet regime that carries out the political will of its conquerer. Vichy is the name of the French city which during World War II was the center of operations and gave its name to the French government which actively cooperated with the Nazi occupation, i.e. Vichy France, June 1940 - June 1944.

"I have long believed and written that the acronym AIPAC should rightly stand for American-style Imperialism Political Action Committee, since it does not reflect the honest desires and needs of the vast majority of the people of Israel but the aims of a global corporate Empire, which reduces the people of both Israel and America to living in its twin facades of "Vichy America" and "Vichy Israel."

VARchester City

An oil club based in Manchester, England which plays in English Premier League, and transformed it into English Farmers League. Could manage to win only 2 league titles before takeover by an Arabian who spent a lot of oil money. Can't even win UCL unless it can spend enough on referee to be favoured by VAR.

VARchester City was the worst club in Premier league till the 2000s.

VRChat

One of the most consuming games you could ever play.

I purchased an HTC Vive so I could play VR games. I read about VRChat, and decided to download it.
The next month and a half consisted of me playing VRChat nonstop with little to no sleep. My sleep schedule was so fucked up, that sometimes I had spasms while I was playing. It was like a drug. I couldn't stop. I dedicated myself to creating avatars for this game, and ended up only ever turning on my computer to play it. I felt like I was going insane. I had lost all of my friends because I never left the house and only ever played this game. It felt like a whole other world that I was living in. My reality was no longer my real life, but instead VRChat.
Dear god do not ever download this if you want to keep your sanity.

I'm gonna go hop on VRChat for a bit and check out Gaia Night and meet some new friends.

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.

"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.
