WoWaphobia

1. The irrational fear that the mmorg World of Warcraft will somehow drain the very soul and/or will to live out of normally healthy people, ruin 'healthy' relationships, prevent you from achieving any happiness or success, transform you into a homosexual, brainwash you into eating only foods with high fat contents(mmmm...bacon), cause war and strife, and generally foment chaos up to and including the End of Days.

2. Disease suffered by people who need to villify something other than the true causes of their problems.
e.g. 1 Many girlfriends suffer from wowaphobia
"My boyfriend ignores me for that stupid WoW game!"

-WoW is an escape from real life...if your boyfriend is chosing it over you, there is probably something deeper involved. Most guys won't turn down sex for a game unless you're really bad at it or you don't stop bitching long enough for him to enjoy your company. Maybe you should thank the game for saving you from a relationship that probably wasn't going anywhere in the first place.

e.g. 2 Parents also suffer from wowaphobia
"My kid could have been a doctor but he got sucked into that demonic game!"
-If your little Johnny rocket surgeon had the focus to be a doctor, a little thing like an online game wouldn't stop him. It might slow him down a little but that's about it. Then again, maybe he's just got ADD.

e.g. 3 Random haters
"Only losers who don't work and can't get laid play online games...etc. ad nauseum"

-Point in fact...Many players are highly successful, well paid, well balanced, family oriented, upstanding individuals who sadly have to bear the vitriol of sad, bitter, small minded people who just happen to be less interesting than a game of all things. Don't project your inadequacies on others just because you don't understand their recreation.

i.e- We mock what we do not understand.

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.
