Vultured by T-Rex and Indie May 14, 2011
To swoop in and seize land, resources, wealth, property, or territory from an Indigenous, native, or previously established population, then claim yourself or your group as the rightful owner of what was taken. The term can also describe benefiting from the displacement, exploitation, or dispossession of another population while ignoring or rewriting the history of how that ownership was acquired.

The word "vultured" is derived from the behavior of a vulture, which circles above an opportunity and swoops in to take advantage of something after another party has already established possession or suffered a loss. In this sense, "vulturing" describes the act of opportunistically taking land, resources, or wealth from a population and then asserting ownership over what was acquired.

The term is commonly used in discussions of colonialism, Indigenous dispossession, land theft, imperialism, and exploitation. It emphasizes the act of taking something from people who were already living on or using it, displacing or marginalizing them, and then claiming legal or moral ownership over what was taken.
“The colonizers vultured the Indigenous people's land, seized their resources, displaced their people, and then declared themselves the rightful owners.”

Cancel Vulture 

A cancel vulture is a person who engages in cancel culture. They’re “vultures” as they watch and see for anything offensive made usually by a celebrity several years ago. They then spread this information to their peers and others who engage in cancel culture. These people are usually insecure and lifeless people who want to be a “hero” because they don’t do any real good in this world. They themselves are likely insecure about past mistakes and things they’ve said before, and they want to take it out on others. Or they’re just “woke” virtue signallers. They almost all come from Twitter which is already a total cesspool. These people can’t accept or learn that people change and possibly don’t hold the same views forever.

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.
