reticide 

• Reticide is the subtle and systematic annihilation of a mass group of people, usually not through direct violence, but through less overt means. Examples include propaganda encouraging the group not to reproduce, systematic pressure intended to encourage racial suicide, and institutional campaigns intended to stifle discussion or recognition of the killing through controlling of platforms of speech.

• Combines Reti-, which is Latin for “restrained silence” and -Cide, which is Latin for “kill”.
The whites of South Africa are being reticided out of existence, and already people are denying it.

reticulating splines 

Nonsense technobabble used in a production context.

Reticulating splines started off as an in-joke at Maxis and grew to fame with the widespread popularity of The Sims. While it does have a "real" meaning, this definition isn't actually correct in the context of its use. It's really a programming joke.

Reticulating splines is essentially filler. Don't want to describe what's holding up the program? It's reticulating splines. Why isn't the Internet working? The splines aren't reticulated. Heck, don't want to explain your calculus assignment? We're reticulating splines this week.

Sorry the video took so long to upload. Reticulating splines took hours!

Rosicrucian 

Rosicrucianism is the theology of a secret society of mystics,
said to have been founded in late medieval Germany by
Christian Rosenkreuz. It holds a doctrine "built on esoteric truths of the ancient past", which, "concealed from the
average man, provide insight into nature, the physical
universe and the spiritual realm."

It is symbolized by the Rosy Cross.
The Rosicrucian practiced the lost Templar rituals.

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.

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.
