One of the last few decent-hearted girls left in this world. Forward thinking, pioneering, and and hard working. Not one to hold back on the harsh truth. Likely to have been bullied for her name but stands strong, eventually having people envious of her. She has a beauty that seems to stand through time, and people of all generations consider her personality and charm to make her beauty even that more radiant. Her politeness doesn’t dampen her resiliency to her beliefs, and she always wants what’s best for the greater good. An Ethel thinks and does so much for the world, and will never be forgotten by anyone.

If you think you’re smart, you won’t feel as smart after one conversation with an Ethel. She will not make you feel stupid at all, instead she will make you feel like you’ve yet to see the world.
Person 1: You're not such a loud mouth today. Everything ok?
Person 2: A lady just changed my perspective on bringing the shopping carts to the right place after doing groceries today. She made me feel like I want to be a better person.
Person 1: Must have been an Ethel.

Ethel, is the most special person in existence. She is the most beautiful woman in the universe. As someone who has experience with an Ethel, she is the most caring and fun person to be with, you can even say she's the best partner a man could ever have (I'm so lucky). If a dog is a man's best friend, an Ethel is a man's best girlfriend (by a "man" I mean me ;>). If you have an Ethel, consider yourself a very lucky and blessed human being, 'cause she's a keeper. Although, she requires a lot of attention and love (she also talks about random stuff that has nothing to do with anything, and it makes me laugh). An Ethel is very hot, like super duper hot... hotter than wearing a fur jacket during summer (I am not kidding). She is also short, which also makes her very cute :3.

For those who have their own Ethel, take good care of them.

To my Ethel, I love you so much! -M
Hey is that an Ethel, wow she reminds me of a chicken nugget.

A girl name.

One of the only good girls left in the world; she is beautiful both inside and out.

Guys beg for her, and girls envy her.

If you're lucky enough to date her, never leave her or give her reason to. You will never be able to find a girl like her again.

Impossible not to love.
Guy: Man, I saw this girl the other day, and I swear I was captivated for at least 20 min!

Guy Two: Yeah, it must have been an Ethel

Strong, like ten maybe twenty mule.
In old country, marrying a woman named Ethel was a good catch. She could plow 5 acres a day, and still have a hot dinner on the table before her husband returned from work.

Soul digger

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.

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.
