EDUCATIONAL by DiggerNick43 September 18, 2018

educational system 

A system that claims to "educate" its victims, while in actuality hinders critical thought, creativity, or joy in the victim's everyday life by issuing homework to extend the torture. Also, to dumb down the generation within the walls of the institution to continue the vicious cycle of ignorance among the masses.
Teacher: Ok, now we shall learn how to do a 5 paragraph essay...

Student: But, isn't writing meant to represent free-flowing expression from people, and should not be subject to a trivial organization that only hinders this process? Oh wait, this is the what the educational system demands, is it?

Teacher: go to the office, now.

Educational Television

The most annoying and the most boring thing to happen to television. Parents advise their children to watch it, but they eventually can't take the trauma anymore. Appropriate for children 5 and under, but children over 5 usually watch more non-educational, but still lame and boring TV. Do you want to learn where Dora The Explorer goes next? Well lets not find out, and watch something worth while, mmkay?
My little brother is watching his favorite educational television show in the living room, he has that thing too loud and it's interfering with my video game!

Educational House

Educational house (edu house for short) is a genre of house music created by DJ Kronotrope. This is essentially house music that doubles up as an educational tool by imparting valuable knowledge to specialist groups and/or the general public through song.

Songs have been used as a medium for imparting knowledge for centuries. Though inferior in many respects to more traditional forms of learning, they remain especially potent for delivering small pieces of important information – especially the kind that needs to be memorised. This is because most songs contain loops. Usually, melodies constitute such loops; but for many songs with vocals, even lyrics loop. Looped lyrics assail the listener's mind and 'drill the information into one's head', so to speak.

Edu house songs can belong to any subgenre of house music, but must satisfy the conditions listed below:

1. The song qualifies as house music (this includes of all accepted subgenres such as progressive, electro, deep, and tech)
2. The knowledge imparted is valuable
3. The knowledge is 100% factually correct based on authoritative sources such as recognised academic journals
4. The knowledge imparted is not revisable within the foreseeable future
5. The song features no adult content (e.g. songs about sex and drugs cannot qualify as edu house).

Enjoy!
1. I was dancing to this tune last night while I was drunk, and all of a sudden, I know all the actions of the acetylcholine! I was really drunk too! I must have been listening to some educational house!

2. Educational house is so useful for memorising the twenty causes of digital clubbing!

For some reason, though, I seem to know all about Heideggerian metaphysics, quantum mechanics, and how to perform a total abdominal hysterectomy with bilateral saphingo-oophorectomy. Word."

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.

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.
