Not the brightest bulb in the chandelier 

Someone slow, dimwitted or stupid - another way of saying "Not the sharpest knife in the drawer". Also, someone who stands out in a crowd as being particularly unintelligent.
Marisa: Why does Eric even bother talking in class - he has no idea what he's talking about.

Michael: What do you expect? I mean he's not the brightest bulb in the chandelier!

Mr.Brightside 

1) To always look for the positive in life.
2) To want somebody so bad that it drills your mind night and day. The desire can be much more intense when you realize that the two of you could never work due to distance, people, place, etc. Inspired by The Killers song.
1)Even after I crashed my car into the exit ramp, and my insurance turned down my claim, the fact that nobody got hurt made me feel like Mr.Brightside.

2)When I heard about her Friday night hookup, my inner Mr.Brightside realized there was nothing I could do from across the country.

Mr Brightside or a Brightside is someone who is jealous of another person who is with the person they want. This is taken from The Killers' song Mr Brightside.
"And I'm falling asleep, and shes calling a cab, while he's having a smoke, and she's takin' a drag, now they're goin' to bed, and my stomach is sick, and its all in my head but she's touching his ... chest now, he takes off her dress, now LET ME GO"

"Jealousy, turning saints into the sea, swimming through sick lullabies, choking on your alibi, but its just the price I pay, destiny is calling me, open up my eager eyes, cause I'm Mr Brightside"

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.

EBK stands for "Elite Ball Knowledge." 1 In internet slang, "ball knowledge" originally referred to a deep understanding of football/soccer or basketball, but it has evolved into a broader term for having a highly sophisticated, deep, or niche understanding of any specific topic (such as music, movies, or subcultures).
Person A: "That scene was a direct homage to an unreleased 1982 Japanese indie film."
Person B: "Wow, EBK."

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.
Democrat 1: What is your prediction for the 2024 presidential election?
Democrat 2: Well uh, Blexas!
Democrat 1: You've been saying that since 2008 though.
