Fat Patronizing. 

When you can't help but compliment overweight people on how they look and think they are beautiful or sexy, sexualizing them in any way including writing weight gain fiction, viewing them as 'aspirational' and reposting their onlyfans account content from twitter on your own page just because you have a thing for fat people.
yes, because that's how fat-shaming works, when you can't stop complimenting overweight people and think they're 'beautiful'. Uhh, that's Fat Patronizing.

Social Media Patronizing 

Social Media Patronizing: When you see someone in person and they say “I love your content” but they never actually comment on or “like” your posts or other content (depending on how the platform works) because they feel they’re better than, and don’t want the actual association.

That is social media patronizing.
Social Media Patronizing: Hey Mike, haven’t seen you in a while… omg, I LOVE following you on LinkedIn (but you know this person has NEVER engaged with you, not even a “like”).

This is a very condescending response from the person you haven’t seen in a while and claims they love to follow your content.

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.
