Paristalsis
Paristalsis is defined as a potentially life threatening condition whereby excessive consumption of white bread, particularly baguettes, antagonises peristalsis and the normative operation of the lower digestive tract
Doctor: Your son's coma was induced by an overconsumption of french bread, which acted as a sort of glutenous cork obstructing the colon, rendering normal peristalsis completely ineffective. This caused a backlog of semi digested food in the stomach and small intestine that exerted a tremendous pressure on little Jimmy's fragile little brain, causing a massive stroke. I'm afraid that we are going to have to surgically remove the obstuction.
Concerned parent:Oh dear God!
Doctor: Don't worry, Paristalsis is extremely common in france and the procedure is really quite routine.
Parent: Ah, I see. Is that why Parisians often seem so braindead?
Doctor: Actually, yes.

parietals
You ask for parietals if you want to have a MOS in your room. Parietals is not the act of banning them from your room, it is the practice of asking permission, and, at some places, leaving the door partly open (with a shoe or something.) It does not START at midnight.
female boarder: hey, you want to come up to my room????
random guy: um, ok, but shouldn't we ask for parietals or something? Don't want to get in trouble.
"It's not the groping that goes on behind closed doors that I worry about-- it's what goes on behind the open doors that bothers me!"

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.

Blexas
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.
