Becky: Hey Steve, will you take me shopping?
Steve: Not right now, I'm trying to get this solo dub real quick

In gamer circles, the person who coordinates and runs a gaming session. The dorkmaster is responsible for securing the equipment, knowing and teaching the rules of the game, resolving any issues or disputes, and generally keeping the game flowing; like a dungeon master, but not D&D-specific.
Frank was a terrible dorkmaster; he didn't know how to set up the board and we spent half the game watching him look up rules.
A stupid portmanteau that does not constitute real slang or colloquialism. This word is ironic and lacks wit and humor, just as the words it condemns.
Urban Dictionary should rename their "Urban Word of the Day" to "Dorkmanteau of the Day," as no one ever has, or will, use those dumb, made-up words in everyday life. They should stick to being the place I look up words I hear in rap songs and videos.

Unit of measurement similar to decimeter, specifically used in Naomi's chemistry class. Can be used for length, mass, volume, temperature, basically you get to make up a unit of measure. It is a made up measurment, but you can also use it to refer to something you don't know the measure of.
The measure of an emotional and over zealous consumer in an upwardly charging market, also known as a bull market. It's characterized by rising asset prices, increased investor confidence, and favorable growth in the markets, bro.

A man who dates women with the sole purpose of exploiting their time, energy, and labor while he sucks the joy and happiness from their lives.
"That guy's a soul digger. He'll expect you to work full time, but you'll be doing all the cooking, cleaning, laundry, shopping, and childcare while he plays video games or watches TV."
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."
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.
