A word that came about due to a mishearing of the lyrics of the hit song Love of the Common People by popular recording artist Paul Young.

The lyric "Daddy's gonna buy you a dream to cling to" were misinterpreted erroneously as "Daddy's gonna buy you a dream liginto".

Over time the word has become associated with references to the fate that brings two lovers together.
Neither Stuart nor Susie really liked the term soulmate, but Susie really was Stuarts dream liginto.

Liminal places 

Odd pictures that have a weird mix of nostalgia and creepiness. They usually feel nostalgic even if you have never seen it before. They commonly are empty rooms with no names of brands of anything. Just feels like a familiar place.
Those pictures of Liminal Places are so creepy

avetard living room 

The living room of the avetards at The Ave. It has free access due to the avetard door being unlocked 24/7. When you first enter, you will see the dab rig on the avetard coffee table with a bunch of other junk. There is trash all over the place all the time and the avetard bathroom and avetard kitchen are also in sight.
I walked into the avetard living room and the place looked smelled like someone just dropped a bunch of turds all over the place, it looked like an absolute fuckshow in there because an avetard can't handle shit.

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.

Person A: "That scene was a direct homage to an unreleased 1982 Japanese indie film."
Person B: "Wow, EBK."
