Home of the hipsters.
If you're is living in LA, into the Indie Music scene, and you're a male with 2% bodyfat plus unwashed hair, or a female with a mullet and bad hygiene - then this is where you aspire to live.
Silverlake is a relatively expensive place to live for those who work in record stores, coffee shops or book stores. Therefore, not all of them can afford to live in the Motherland of retro garage fashion. Instead, many opt to live in the surrounding areas such as Echo Park or Los Feliz.
The restaurants and bars are mediocre at best in Silverlake when compared to the rest of LA, but a Silverlake resident will rarely leave Silverlake for a meal, a show, clothes, groceries etc. Many do not even realize that LA has beachfront cities/a beach.
Its mostly known for it's hipster music venues - Spaceland, The Echo, and Silverlake Lounge. This is where you are most likely to hear the next new thing that the rest of the country has been deemed 'not cool enough' to know about.
If you've ever seen the movie 'Gimme Shelter', then you already know exactly what 90% of the male population in Silverlake dresses like, per their every day Hipster costumes.
If you've ever seen a female street junkie who needs a bath, but keeps her fashion dedicated to her 80's rock roots, then you've seen 90% of the female population in Silverlake.

Silverlight is shit plugin for browsers so that web developers can code in a crap pointless language, worse then the brilliant language currently used, JavaScript. The only reason why anyone would ever use it is to install viruses (just like Microsofts activeX).

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.

dead drop
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.

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.
