Ireland. 

The most beautiful, cultured and economically strong country in western Europe. For its size, it has produced many geniuses, who will continue to be studied and adored. A nation that is full aware of its importance in Europe, and the world. a country that "Fights well above its weight". The Celtic tiger has given this beautiful country the boost it needed to reign supreme of her own affairs. A country once torn and still bares the scars of the illegal occupation by a "more civilised" nation that raped, ruined and pillaged nearly every country in the world at the but of a gun. One day this fabulous country will be united and that shall be my dancing day. Any uninformed, uncultured member of the dregs of society (more than likely British) who thinks that Ireland and its inhabitants are the slaves of Europe are gravely misinformed. The people of Ireland do not care how they are perceived by the rest of the world, we know that our country is one that shines bright in the European union, a neutral country that harbours a great tradition of acceptance and diversity. A country of beautiful unspoilt landscapes paralleled with bustling cities and cosmopolitan lifestyles. A country that I am proud to call home, because when you have such a home, you are one lucky individual! Up President Mc Aleese!

{ Ai-reen }

Someone hard to describe . Someone who is a lot of things, numinous, selcouth, cosmogryal etc. An honestly lovely girl, who dreams alot and wanders. The people who are her closets friends understand her, even though she might be the weirdest person they've ever met. Ireen values her friends, family, and her priorities. She's the type of person who would rather choose vintage than modern. Who would rather stand up and fight for herself and others than sit around and feel sorry for herself. She turns heads and quickly makes the atmosphere comfortable with the people that make her feel confident. Ireen has a strange scent of petrichor and a bit of saltiness and perfume. This just defines her lolita-gangster, laid back vibes more and creates a sense of mystery around her. It's better not to question her, she might surprise you and leave you speechless. She's beautiful, smart, knows when the timing is right. In summary is someone close to Perfection. Despite all this, she still has her insecurities and often has low-self esteem from even the littlest things. Ireen desires a paradise suited for her,an appentence,a redemancy,to not have any tacenda,an undeniable radiance in life, an even better melomaine, and to be the "crème de la crème" for everyone. She's funny,lustful, desirable,intelligent,shy,complex,has a nice figure, a godess and an overall a gapeseed. If you have or know an Ireen be grateful for her, and treasure her.
"Ireen is basically perfection in one person."

" She gave me a strange but awkward attraction, she's like Ireen"

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.
