fishers island 

a hella preppy island that is tiny, but in the summer feels ten times larger. it gets a ton of shit because its basically just a smaller and less public version of the Hamptons, but it's a good time. everyone is decently rich, but we don't really bother flaunting it as much as some other summer communities. if you have friends, the summers are soo fun, but if you aren't friends with the people your age, it can be really boring. fun usually means getting high or drunk on one of the beaches and then sleeping over at a friends house for the night, and then proceeding to bike home at 7 am because you forgot about your job.

also, theres two main country clubs that are verryyyy different. Hay Harbor is smaller and more kid friendly, and you'll probably enjoy doing tennis there until you're about 16. The Big Club is a lot harder to get into, and is mainly for golf but people go to the beach as well. they're both pretty fun, but for different things.

the island is really just a bunch of privileged, private school kids pretending they didn't get high right before dinner at the club. its fun to grow up at though. if you make good friends, they'll be there for the rest of your life.
(most likely at a prep school campus, such as westminster or st. pauls)

fishers island 

an extremey preppy summer island (also Year round) that in the summer time gets filled with preppy kids. every way you turn you see blond, wavy hair, pastels, and cliques. the cliques are bad. they suck. its ridiculous, if you don't go for one summer you're not in a group anymore. word spreads like wild fire on this island, it'a little pathetic. "partying" entails breaking into dad's liquor cabinet and sitting at home and drinking either cheap beer or very expensive liquor, or sitting around cars, getting high near a beach then about 5 minutes later getting busted by a bike cop because the neighbor said you were too loud.

some good people though

not a bad place to grow up but gets hella old as you get older and people get meaner

has some redeaming qualities but the people make the place
i used to go to fishers island but then wanted a life.

Frothability 

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.
The frothability was evident as over-zealous consumers eagerly engaged in bidding wars, driving property prices to unsustainable levels reminiscent of previous speculative bubbles.

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.
