1.The little tab thing that holds your pen to your shirt.

Invented by people who were soooo smart they wrote all the time, so often that they became insecure just HAVING a pen in their pocket, they needed a surefire way to keep it from accidentally falling out. Which eventually led the word "cance" to become synonymous with such words as "important", "intellectual" , and "special."

2.Sometimes a last name....NOT to be, but often, confused with Chance.
Were you chewing on my pen?

No...

Oh yeah? Can you explain why the Cance is bent?

A Canadian literature institution made of "Cans" and "Clits", where curiously enough, straight male nerds use women as sex objects. Yet women - who oblige or not - employ said-nerd-men as useful idiots to advance their literary career aspirations.

CanClit relies on the motto "Yes I Can?" and various other hijacked / hackneyed literary slogans for its cause, cause it really can't. If it could, it wouldn't be mired in identity / sexuality / cultural appropriation / power politicking, and other vain rubbish.

Other important slogans are, "Those who can, can. Those who can't, teach." and "Can you do the can-can?"
- Gee! Sheila's mad at Freddy because the burgeoning "literary career" he promised her after much sex, left her in financial disrepair, eh. Oh well, she'll call on the virile "CanClit" hashtag for a publicity boost!

- Whoo! Shamus is annoyed at Morgan cause he didn't share the CanClit poon! Such a selfish little itty-bitty! There's enough to go around on - and off campus!

- The publisher sifted through piles of manuscripts, and mistakenly thought she stumbled on the next Atwood. Instead, she "chanced" upon yet another CanClit story... And needless to say, the manuscript doesn't warrant a response!

- Real writers explore the world with open eyes and think education is a cruel expensive joke. CanClit writers receive training in unispiring institutions, that cost tuition and sexual favors in exchange for degrees. Well, degrees aren't cred or good lit - guess what kinda literature people want to read- and which kind they'll avoid? "Can" you do that?

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.

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."
