manopoly by El Jay December 24, 2008
How married men maintain their mistresses, instinctively reappearing just as said mistress is about to move on. Manopoly is a check in on his territory just often enough to ensure there is no room for competitors to move into his market.
I was going to go out with that new guy I met, but it's been 3 weeks since I heard from (married boyfriend's name) and I think we are playing Manopoly this weekend. I don't want to miss that.

Knife Monopoly 

Knife monopoly is simple, and it makes sense since you are likely to get stabbed in the back in business anyway. You play regular monopoly, but every time you buy a house you balance a steak knife on the edge of a shelf that is suspended above you. When someone lands on that property, prior to paying you, they get the option to jump up and down on the ground to possibly shake a knife loose. They have to pay double rent for this option. If you get stabbed in the back by a knife, then you lose that property and the houses on that set of properties are cleared from the board. The knives associated with those properties are also removed from the shelf. If you put a hotel down, then you have to balance a large kitchen knife on the business shelf. If you get stabbed by that knife, you lose a single hotel. If you die from that knife, then you lose 2 hotels.

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.

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."
