Osborne effect

Adam Osbourne, founder of Osborne Computers which made the first successful portable computer, made announcements about new computers that were still in the prototype stage. So people stopped buying their existing product, Osborne Computing failed by 1985, and they became a footnote in computer history. This blunder is how the "Osborne effect" got its name.
After announcing their next-gen gaming console too early, the company experienced the Osborne effect, as sales of their current model plummeted and fans lost interest.

The Shi Osborne 

When you have 5 kills and blame the whole team for your mistakes.
(The shi osborne) OMG HE IS SO TRASH YET I HAVE 5 kills AND HE HAS 40

George Osborne

He is the Chancellor of the Exchequer in the United Kingdom. A very typical, rich, posh, upper-class creep. He also owes £55,000 to the public for changing his second home in order to pay less capital gains tax and I swear he gets sexually aroused or gets some sick kick out of bringing in more and more spending cuts.

In 2001 he officially had his lips stitched to David Cameron's arse.

He has used the jet-wash a grand total of once in his life, a known homophobe, he physically runs away from the press and interviewers and continues to prove his stupidity and lack of knowledge of the real world through his seemingly un-ending pissing on the Working Class and public sectors (Much like any Tory). It is absolutely of no surprise to me that his first job was entering names of dead people into an NHS computer, which is also ironic.

To conclude he is an arrogant, upper-class, privately educated jerk who lives only to piss on people lower that him to keep himself rich. George Osborne is easily identifiable as the dog shit you find on the pavement, actually, no... That would an insult to dog shit...
David Cameron: The country seems to be a bit in bother don't you think?

George Osborne: Why I have an excellent proposition!

David: What's that George?

George: More spending cuts!

David: Ahh, yes. My pocket's lining was starting to wear fairly thin...

George: Will we re-line our pockets, instead of dealing with our country's problems, we can insult that big-nosed buffoon Ed Miliband and his troop of filthy, good-for-nothing labourers!

David: Spiffing!

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.
