Soulz phenomenon

When a game, project, or update is repeatedly promised to release soon but constantly delayed.
Though the developers and community continue to believe with absolute faith that “it’s coming back.”

Originates from the Roblox game Soulz, which has experienced countless “soon” announcements, date pushbacks, and revival promises since 2024. Despite it all, the fans still hold on.

Symptoms:

Announcements such as: “release in ~1 month” or “this Saturday for sure 🙏”

Edits quietly changing dates: “soon” becomes “later this week”

Devs reminding everyone: “it’s not discontinued” every few months

Hopium-fueled optimism keeping the fanbase alive

Sneak peeks dropped just often enough to reignite belief

Synonyms:
Development hell, Hopium cycle, Soon Syndrome

Antonym:
Released, open beta, full release
“They said the update’s coming next week again? Nah dude, that whole project is undergoing the Soulz phenomenon."

“I’ve been waiting for this game’s return for two years... I think I’m suffering from the Soulz phenomenon.”

“Don’t worry guys, it’s not cancelled... it’s Soulzed.”

Dark Night Of The Soul 

The dark night of the soul is a spiritual depression, that ranges from feelings of extreme GOD-like bliss one day to all of a sudden extreme sadness, manic states and confusion the next day.

Dark night of a soul is best described as an existential crisis and is typically happens sometime after a spiritual awakening. It’s painful and confusing if you resist it but it is possible to overcome somewhat quickly if you fully surrender into it.

Every human will experience it in at least one of their lifetimes if they want to reach a Nirvana state and become enlightened.
Moms friend: What happen to your daughter? She’s been acting kind of “off “ lately. Is she alright?

Mom: I’m honestly not sure, the doctor said everything is perfect on the test scans and she is 100% healthy. I know she’s been praying and meditating a lot lately to relieve pain

Moms friend: I think she is going through a Dark Night Of The Soul. I had went through the same thing when I was studying the map of consciousness and doing meditations 10 years ago.

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.

EBK stands for "Elite Ball Knowledge." 1 In internet slang, "ball knowledge" originally referred to a deep understanding of football/soccer or basketball, but it has evolved into a broader term for having a highly sophisticated, deep, or niche understanding of any specific topic (such as music, movies, or subcultures).
Person A: "That scene was a direct homage to an unreleased 1982 Japanese indie film."
Person B: "Wow, EBK."

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.
