Edophile
An individual who has a strong positive predisposition or interest toward education. The term stems from the conjugation of the word "education" and the Greek suffix "-ophile." This passion on education does not need to be limited to formal academic courses or degrees. An edophile often demonstrates their interest by reading books and obsessively going over the newspaper. An edophile can typically be seen researching new fun facts or telling obscure historical anecdotes.
Sometimes erroneously mischaracterized as pretentious or snobbish.

edophile
An extremely obsessive/crazed fangirl of Edward Elric from Fullmetal Alchemist. 'Edo' is the Japanese pronounciation of 'Ed', therefore creating a clever pun on the word 'pedophile'. Symptoms of an Edophile include but are not limited to:
-Talking about Ed constantly
-Lack of sleep due to internet Ed picture splurges
-Having more than one Ed avatar or icon in use
-Incessant babble claiming of wanting to 'have his children'...
-Posts on fullmetal-alchemist.com
-Posts/takes Fullmetal Alchemist quizzes constantly
-Annoys friends and/or innocent passerbys/civlians by talking about Ed
To distract an Edophile, proceed to throw any Fullmetal Alchemist related figure/object a long distance. They will chase after it and never be seen again. Until they want more stuff.

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.
