Styrofoam Scot

A Styrofoam Scot or a “Styro” is a person usually (but not always) from the USA or Canada who is overly obsessed with Scotland and their Scottish heritage. They confuse heritage with nationality and claim to be a Scot themselves without ever living in Scotland, experiencing a Scottish upbringing or the culture firsthand.
Many Styrofoam Scots romanticise Scotland and base their view of the nation around popular media that does not represent modern day life such as the series Outlander or the movie Braveheart.

Common actions of Styrofoam Scots include wearing ill fitting “kilts”, bragging about their high percentage of Scottish DNA from an Ancestry test or getting a tattoo of a cheesy quote written in poorly translated Gàidhlig.

Harmful behaviour carried out by Styrofoam Scots include claiming to be more Scottish than people who live within the country due to race or DNA, explaining Scottish issues to Scots in a condescending manner and completely taking over Scots Wikipedia. The latter causing extreme damage to the Scots language due to thousands of articles written in unintelligible Scots by an American born Styrofoam.

Online behaviour includes Styros referring to the Scottish people as “Scotch” or “Scotts” and scolding Scottish nationals for their colourful language and rough sense of humour. After “getting telt” and having the complete piss ripped out of them by real Scots they are often severely offended and proceed to throw a tantrum or fall into a “Styro Sulk”.
“Aw naw a Styrofoam Scot made liquified stovies. It’s pure geein me the boak!”

“Shut up Ron. No one cares about your 23 and me results. You’re nothing but a styro!”

“Check the nick o’ that Styrofoam’s kilt!”
“That’s no even a kilt. It’s a fuckin skirt Greg!”

“Did ye hear aboot thit Styro basturt. Pure fucked up the Scots Wiki. A cannae understun any of the pish he’s wrote!”

pod person

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.
