Euclides
Euclides is a smart, respectful, sexy, stunning, outgoing, fun, he also has a big penis, there's just so many good ways to describe Euclides. The name Euclides originated from the Greek Mathematician "Euclid" who came up with Euclidean Geometry, the basics of Geometry. He is a very charming man, known to get all the ladies, but once he finds the right woman to settle down with, she will capture his heart and be hers to keep forever.

Euclid Ohio
An Inner-Ring Suburb of Cleveland, Ohio. Euclid however is very urban and has fallen to urban blight and decay. In the past 15 years crime and property neglect have shot up, while school scores dropped faster than Paris Hilton's panties. The city has become the extension of Cleveland's East Side Ghetto.
Suburban Mom: We used to live in Euclid Ohio before it turned into the ghetto.
Euclid Mom: HELP!!!! We can't get out of the Euclid Ghetto!

Non-Euclidean Vagina
A vagina so distorted from a good fucking that it no longer satisfies Euclid's parallel postulate, instead existing in more exotic geometric spaces, including but not limited to hyperbolic and Minkowskian geometries.
"Yeah bro, I wrecked that pussy so hard that for a given line L and a point A not on L, there was not exactly one line through A which did not intersect L."
"Nice dude, non-euclidean vaginas are clutch as hell."

Non-Euclidean Geometry
A non-Euclidean geometry is any geometry that contrasts the fundamental ideas of Euclidean geometry, especially with the nature of parallel lines. Any geometry that does not assume the parallel postulate or any of its alternatives is an absolute geometry (Euclid's own geometry, which does not use the parallel postulate until Proposition 28, can be called a neutral geometry). The first non-Euclidean geometries arose in the exploration of disputing Euclid's notorious Fifth Postulate, which states that if a straight line falling on two straight lines makes the interior angles on the same side less than two right angles, then the two straight lines, if produced indefinitely, meet on that side on which are the angles less than two right angles. Critics of the "parallel postulate" do not argue that it is a mathematical fact. Instead, they do not find it as brief, simple, and self-evident as postulates are supposed to be. Furthermore, the converse of the parallel postulate, corresponding to Proposition 27, Book I, of Euclid's Elements, has a proof, which fueled the argument that the parallel postulate should be a theorem.
Many logically equivalent statements include, but are not limited to:
1. Through a given point not on a given line, only one parallel can be drawn to the given line. (Playfair's Axiom)
2. A line that intersects one of two parallel lines intersects the other also.
3. There exists lines that are everywhere equidistant from one another.
4. The sum of the angles of a triangle is equal to two right angles.
5. For any triangle, there exists a similar noncongruent triangle.
6. Any two parallel lines have a common perpendicular.
7. There exists a circle passing through any three noncollinear points.
8. Two lines parallel to the same line are parallel to each other.
For two thousand years, geometers attempted to prove the parallel postulate, but every proof failed due to an assumption made similar to the ones above or just faulty thinking. Probably the most interesting of these are the proofs of the 17th-18th century Italian geometer Girolamo Saccheri. He tried to prove it using a reductio ad absurdum argument. By proving that the sum of the angles of a triangle cannot be greater than or less than 180 degrees, he would have achieved his goal. He successfully proved that they cannot be greater that 180 degrees, but could not find a contradiction of the latter case. He ended his proof and denied himself the opportunity to be history's first non-Euclidean geometer. This honor would be saved for two later mathematicians, Janos Bolyai and Nicolai Lobachevsky.
Both contemporaries of Carl Gauss, Lobachevsky and Bolyai did pioneering work in hyperbolic geometry, which keeps Euclid's other four postulates in tact, but supposes that through any given point not on a given line, infinitely many lines can be drawn parallel to that given line. As opposed to Euclidean geometry, which asserts that the distance between any two lines is constant, hyperbolic geometry visually means that lines curve toward each other. They discovered this to be logically coherent and a feasible alternative to Euclidean geometry. It is safe to assume that these facts were known to previous mathematicians such as Gauss and Adrien-Marie Legendre, both contributing much to elliptic functions and having conducted experiments that led them to conclude that the sum of the angles of a triangle can be less than 180 degrees. Sadly, Legendre did this in an attempt to prove the parallel postulate (hence disposing of his chance as first non-Euclidean geometer), and Gauss never published his findings in order to avoid controversy (Immanuel Kant, a prominent German philosopher of the late 1700's, in his "Critique of Pure Reason", stated the Euclidean geometry is the true geometry of the universe and to contradict it is to contradict thought itself.) Gauss did, however, discover much of differential geometry and potential theory.
Bernhard Riemann, a student of Gauss, in a famous lecture in 1854, established Riemannian geometry and discussed modern concepts such as curvature, manifolds, and (Riemannian) metrics. By giving a formula for a family of Riemannian metrics on the unit ball in Euclidean space, Riemann constructed infinitely many possible non-Euclidean geometries and provided the logical foundation for elliptic geometry, which states that through a given point not on a given line, no parallel lines exist. Visually, we can interpret this as lines curving toward each other. We cannot call Riemann, however, the sole inventor of elliptic geometry since his theory extends to all geometries, including the default Euclidean n-space. The ideas for elliptic and, mainly, hyperbolic geometry continued to develop by mathematicians of the later half of the century, such as Eugenio Beltrami, Felix Klein, and Henri Poincare. Such geometries have proven useful to the development of topology in the 20th century and to physics, notably in Albert Einstein's theory of general relativity.
Though interesting, much of non-Euclidean geometry is far too advanced to be taught in high school (or even at the undergraduate level in college!) along with basic Euclidean geometry. In order to grasp it fully and do original work in it, one must have a good working knowledge of multivariable calculus, linear and abstract algebra, real and complex analysis, and topology.

dead drop
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.

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.

EBK
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).

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.
