A prolonged era of personal triumph, profound happiness, and mental clarity that follows a significant period of grief, hardship, or emotional breakdown. Lasting anywhere from several weeks to an entire year, it is the ultimate "cool down" season of life where an individual emerges from past tears significantly stronger, cooler, and possessing a massive increase in personal aura.
"2025 was a brutal year of struggling and crying, but this entire year has been my aftercry. I’ve never felt this strong, and my aura is through the roof."

Aftercreep

An event taking place for high schoolers across the nation on Sundays in April; the day after prom, when you spend countless hours on Facebook creeping and looking through photos from prom you either attended or did not attend because you were so excited for aftercreeping and decided to stay home. While aftercreeping, one may find that they have seen the exact same dress on three, four, or maybe five girls, and you may witness several wardrobe malfunctions before they are removed from said social networking site. When you finally stop, it is early Monday morning, at which point you have hours of homework that you planned to do on Sunday. At this time, you may make the decision to skip school monday in order to aftercreep for several more hours.
Kid 1: Hey, did you go to east's prom last night?

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.
