favor sharking 

Doing an unasked-for favor for someone, and then using it to try and guilt them into doing something for you.
Sam: "So Bob shows up at my house randomly with some brown bananas and is like 'hey, you can use these to make banana bread,' and I'm like 'uh, ok, I don't really bake but thanks,' and then he invites himself in for an hour and asks to borrow $300."

Joe: "That's some prime favor sharking right there. But my mother in law is worse. She keeps buying us weird vases and knick-knacks we don't need and then calls us ungrateful if we don't spend hours on the phone with her saying thank you and talking about where we'll put them in the house. We keep asking her to stop but she won't.

Virgin Shaming 

The act of judging or mocking someone due to their assumed lack of sexual experience. The perpetrator will normally base this assumption on the victim's personality traits or behaviors that they associate with being a virgin. The perpetrator will often do this cover up their own insecurities.

short shaming 

No, this has nothing to do with penis length; your dirty mind would go there!

Short shaming is the act of teasing or disparaging a person because of their short stature.

It's a form of discrimination that gets the impunity that racism doesn't. Short shaming has a surprising double standard present in many women: they advocate for the body positivity of themselves and others, yet openly and shamelessly denounce short men.

It's important to remember that height is genetic and unchangeable once a man hits the approximate age of 20; discriminating against it is never a valid criticism. Short men face a lot of discrimination, so just remember to treat them with the respect that everybody deserves. Short shaming is like racism: you're discriminating against a harmless trait that someone cannot change.
Girl 1: "So how tall's your new boyfriend?"
Girl 2: "He's 5'8."
Girl 1: "Ew, it's only a friends thing, right?"
Girl 2: "Hey, quit short shaming, I love him!"

Virgin Shaming 

The act of judging, mocking, or treating someone as though they are not sexually experienced. Often times the individual being victimized will not reveal their virginity status. With that being said, virginity shamers most of the time assume the victims sexual experience based off of personality traits or behaviors they associate with being a virgin. This is an overlooked problem in society.
When he asked for advice on how to get laid, his friends began virgin shaming him.

Conservative-shaming

The practice of criticizing or punishing people who are perceived to violate expectations of behavior and attitude regarding issues that are important to liberals, even when those violations are extremely subtle or unintended to cause offense.

Examples of conservative-shaming include being viciously mocked or threatened on liberal media and/or social media, having one's business boycotted, having one's awards revoked, or being dismissed from employment.

Conservative-shaming is the number one way in which an entire generation has been converted to liberalism, by means of public embarrassment and fear of punishment. Conservatives have become afraid to speak the truth publicly, and this has caused the current generation to believe that their way of seeing things is the way that 90% of people see things, since they are not allowed to hear the other side. The only time they are allowed to hear a conservative speak is when they find an example of an uneducated conservative speaking in an obscene or inarticulate fashion, playing that person's quote all over media, while refusing to play quotes from reasonable articulate conservatives, for fear that their views might be listened to. The lack of being allowed to see both viewpoints in a fair debate has also caused the current generation to believe that all liberals came to their conclusions on their own, through logical reasoning, instead of through brainwashing and peer pressure, which is the actual source of their beliefs.
Just because I called Bruce Jenner"he" instead of "she", there was a flood of conservative-shaming all over social media, and my family business was boycotted until we had to declare bankruptcy! Now my children are embarrassed to go to school because they will be hated for being from a conservative family, and we have no money to send them to college. I wish liberals could just show some TOLERANCE for other viewpoints. I didn't "damage society" by calling Bruce Jenner "he", and my children shouldn't be punished for such a small "violation" of liberal opinions.

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.

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.
