Algolagnia
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
Algolagnia (from the greek "Üëãïò" algos meaning pain and "ëáãíåßá" lagnia meaning lust) is the paraphilia of deriving sexual pleasure from physical pain.
It may have a simply biological basis, as it is proven that pain, just like sensorial pleasures such as sexual contact and sweet foods, cause the release of endorphins, the chemicals that induce pleasure.
If a person's pain threshold is sufficiently high, this may outweigh the normal discomfort, even to the point of addiction.
Note that algolagnia is not the same thing as physical masochism, since there are fewer psychological connotations to algolagnia, which may be a simple liking for pain, without any need for domination, submission or humiliation. It may therefore rather take the form of self-infliction of pain.

Alpolian
These are individuals from very small towns. These people tend to breed with each other. There must be something in the water because many of them don't leave the town to have relationships and children. This makes the whole town related. Everyone is having sex with everyone like it's a group hug.

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.

Blexas
Texas is categorized as a swing state in presidential elections, but has voted for Republicans more times than for Democrats in recent history. As such, as demographics change political alignments, some Democrats believe that Texas will vote blue, or Democratic, due to their Hispanic and African American voters, who often align themselves with the Democratic Party's liberal wing.
Blexas has been cited as possible in the upcoming decades, but only if Democrats continue to win the Hispanic vote in bigger margins.
