A fellowship of Christian businessmen and professionals who spread the Gospel of Jesus Christ through distribution of the Holy Bible. While most people are familiar with the Gideons' hotel bibles, the Gideons also distribute bibles in prisons, on college campuses, in hospitals and to police, firefighters and members of the armed forces. Contrary to other entries, the Gideons do not spy on people at the hotels. In fact, Gideons must be non-judgemental and avoid all manner of divisive doctrinal discussions.
I left my Bible at home. I'm sure glad the Gideons left a bible in this hotel room.

1. A group of people that puts Bibles into hotel rooms.
2. A secret government cult of anonymous suit-wearing agents that monitors every action of hotel room occupants and writes threatening messages on the wall in blood when drinking glasses are accidentally broken buy an innocent game of hacky-sack.
1. That was so thoughtful of the gideons to put this Bible in that drawer.
2. Help!!! The gideons are after us. We have to leave the country. Now.

The Squatting Gideon 

The act of trying to squat too much weight, falling on your face, and shitting your pants at the same time.
James pulled the squatting gideon this morning, and they're still attempting to clean the platform.
A manly man. A total "Clint Eastwood" type. He loves the outdoors and is a risk taker! He is also not afraid of anything. He fights and kills two grizzly bears a year and he once lived with a pack of wolves for 6 months. He is ruggedly handsome and has an All-American chiseled jaw. He has a few scars on his face from all of the fights he's gotten into protecting and defending those he cares about. (Don't worry, it doesn't take away from his superb good looks, in fact it adds to it.)

Gideon is not afraid to speak his mind and is not afraid to get into fights, especially when it comes to defending the honor of his lady. Gideon is a great guy to have a relationship with but he travels a lot, so it may get hard. But he is totally worth it! He has high morals and values but that won't stop him from having a good time. Gideon is the life of the PARTY!

Gideon can sometimes come across as aggressive but he is just being honest--he does not lie. If you need advice, he's the man to go to. He won't beat around the bush. He will tell you exactly what he thinks even if it hurts your feelings. And if it hurts you're feelings he'll say "Hey little girl! I don't like cherry. It upsets my stomach! Yee Yee!"

Gideon is a good man who will make you laugh, make you smile, and make you bleed (if you cross him) But if you are on his good side, NEVER let him go! (unless he physically pushes your face away from him)
Luke: "Did you see that man in the woods save that woman by killing the grizzly bear with his bear hands?"
Garrett: "Yeah bro, I did! That guy was a complete Gideon bad ass!"

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.
