- the acronym for Adult Swim, which is a tv channel that used to appear late after Cartoon Network. It usually was for tv shows with an older target audience. An example of a show on as is Family Guy.

Tiktok has a trend now to create creative ways to show the acronym, just like how as did little commercial breaks. The commercial breaks usually had an abstract quote with a funny video attached.
“Yo what tv channel you watching?“
“as.“

-Acronym for "Adult swimming" meaning "Adults only". It's origin is related to adult only swimming pools

-Meme origin : Cartoon network used to, after 8pm, only show adult cartoons, "king of the hill" for exemple, and, to warn the kids, an "Adult swim ad" would show up warning the kids and parents that the content next was not family friendly.

Search "Cartoon network Sign off evolution" or "7:59 P.M" on YouTube

For some, as is also seen as a whole new TV channel compared to cartoon network.

Although I couldn't find any evidence, it's said that the narrator would say "Swap the channel kids, or not, we don't care" which is where the TikTok trend comes from "Do *something*, or don't, we don't care"
"There's people who wash their hair everyday, but some only once a week, but who cares ? as"

pod person 

A person pretending to be something they aren't, or an impostor. This is inferred because of the old alien movies where alien pods appear on earth and the "pod people" dispose of the humans and slowly reproduce the bodies, pretending to be humans.
The pod person was pretending to be my father, but I knew that he was an alien when he acted differently than my father ever would have.

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.

Person B: "Wow, EBK."
