Orwell Dilemma 

When something is put off until the next day indefinatly, it will never get accomplished.
If discussion of a George Orwell novel is put off until tomorrow everyday, it will never get discussed, hence the Orwell Dilemma.

Orwell's Law 

It takes only so long before those in privileged positions claim 1984-esque censorship for getting the treatment for being criticized and dealt with like everyone else has been subjected to beforehand.
Person 1: This guy got banned on Twitter and now screams that will all live now in an Orwellian Nightmare because his followers finally followed through with the hatred and violence he enabled and incited.
Person 2: This is Orwell's Law at work again.

Have you read "1984"? Good stuff, man.

george orwell 

A genuis - definately ahead of his time and with the ability to predict what life will become like - authoritarian via a police state, with mind control being present.

1984 is a testament to the thinking of the non supressed mind.
If you want a vision of the future, imagine a boot stamping on a human face - forever.

I'm glad kids are being forced to read Orwell. It's a lot better than the other crap they'd be reading otherwise.

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.

EBK stands for "Elite Ball Knowledge." 1 In internet slang, "ball knowledge" originally referred to a deep understanding of football/soccer or basketball, but it has evolved into a broader term for having a highly sophisticated, deep, or niche understanding of any specific topic (such as music, movies, or subcultures).
Person A: "That scene was a direct homage to an unreleased 1982 Japanese indie film."
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.
