Acela Corridor Galaxy Brains

Acela Corridor Galaxy Brains is a phrase coined by the renowned economist and scholar in Sino-US-Europe study Christopher Balding to refer to people from Boston to the DC along the east coast who have never left their towns such as Cambridge, the borough of Brooklyn, or Georgetown but think they know enough to run the world such as journos or tankies. Acela is the "high speed" train line with a top speed around 90 mph for brief stretches.
China, with Acela Corridor Galaxy Brains' assistance, is pushing this nonsensical line that "let's repair the relationship but not talk about anything of importance."

Sexual maneuver named for the high speed business-class train operated in the eastern corridor by Amtrak. Method preferred by its clientèle for expressing love for a women through a spontaneous and often surprising display of raw power that simultaneously celebrates the innovations of modern technology.

The primary business-class traveler takes up position in the king sized bed of a reputable hotel chain while the client freshens up in the bathroom. Adequately prepared for the meeting, the client makes her way across the room towards the waving business-class traveler. At this point, an additional business associate, given a proper running start, approaches from the side at full speed to deliver a sudden bone-crushing tackle aimed at the client's center of gravity. Executed properly, the collision is a near perfect transfer of power that drills the client to the floor where she is then properly drilled by the business-class traveler while his associate occupies himself with the latest issue of the Financial Times.
"Baby, I love you in a way that regular non-business travelers could not express. Allow me to pleasure you appropriately... *Bitch doesn't see if coming, gets destroyed by the Acela, will understand what the primary business-class traveler meant when she comes to*"

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.
