MicroBro 

Just one of the guys, who just happens to be really short, a.k.a. "Vertically Challenged". That's all; he's just a short guy that hangs with you and your buddies. If he happens to be a niche beer fanatic, then it's a bonus: a double entendre.

There is nothing in this word that dictates the person's demeanor, so there could be microbros that are jerks, brainiacs, whatever.
The quintessential microbro is Holt Ann Richter, the character from The Cleveland Show. (voiced by Jason Sudeikis) - Holt attempts to be a suave, pop-culture reference-dropping bro, but the effect is undercut by his short stature (he is short enough to be mistaken for a child, as proven by Kendra occasionally referring to him as "the baby man")

Microbrand Shy 

When a customer refuses to order from any business which advertises itself online through Google ads, Instagram, Facebook and the like because s/he had a bad experience when s/he ordered from another business which advertised itself in a similar manner. A lot of the businesses which use ultra-targeted social media marketing are microbrands which tend to indulge in practices such as just-in-time manufacturing and dropshipping. Thus most Instagram (et al) users have experienced the 'Purchase made from China without knowing it' - that is, they ordered through an Instagram ad which promised a company based in your country, delivery within 2 weeks and a no-quibble refund policy. When their order finally arrived months later from the Far East, the sizes were all wrong, the quality was much lower than expected and, since there's usually little customer service to speak of with these companies, asking for a refund was like trying to get blood out of a stone.

Customers who have experienced such frustrations are 'Once bitten, twice shy'; even though there might be some very good businesses who offer good quality products and stellar customer service out there advertising themselves on Instagram, they are very reluctant to risk a repeat of the last time they ordered from a business they thought was legit.
"Hey, check out this great deal on jeans and custom T-Shirts!"
"No way, last time I ordered T-Shirts from an online ad they were 2 sizes small and 2 months late. I'm Microbrand Shy."

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 B: "Wow, EBK."

Texas is categorized as a swing state in presidential elections, but has voted for Republicans more times than for Democrats in recent history. As such, as demographics change political alignments, some Democrats believe that Texas will vote blue, or Democratic, due to their Hispanic and African American voters, who often align themselves with the Democratic Party's liberal wing.

Blexas has been cited as possible in the upcoming decades, but only if Democrats continue to win the Hispanic vote in bigger margins.
Democrat 1: What is your prediction for the 2024 presidential election?
Democrat 2: Well uh, Blexas!
Democrat 1: You've been saying that since 2008 though.
