Treethugger 

noun, the embodiment of both both the hip-hop and hippie cultures. often bearded, wearing thick brimmed glasses.

common attire is a trifecta of full-print; the hoodie, flat brim cap, and t-shirt, all full-print. nice jeans, long hemp or flashy necklaces, and more often then not, nike dunks, limited edition or wacky colors, often sb.
im tired of going to shows and seeing all the treethuggers stand in a group, not dancing, and sip on beer. which is weird because they were all probably on a bunch of ecstasy.

alex just bought a new pair nike dunk sb's, in orange, blue, and purple to match his orange, blue, and purple, negro league new era cap. which also matches his orange, blue and purple oversized bead on his oversized hemp necklace.

Treehugger 

Different from an environmentalist. An environmentalist is somebody who is rational, practical, and scientific.

Treehuggers think purely with emotion and not with actual critical thinking skills.

Typically without any job or hobby, spends their time protesting without thinking of any actual goals or solutions, and does things that feel good but are actually detrimental.

Example, blocking roads and pestering ordinary people, causing idling vehicles traffic and thus thereby causing even more CO2 buildup and moving people away from the movement.

Example 2: Torching SUVs because they are secretly jealous, which in turn creates toxins and co2 and smoke to release into the air, thereby causing more global warming, committing a major crime against ordinary people, and again moving away the average Joe from the cause that the treehugger wants people to join.

Often seen handing out flyers advertising their protest which wastes paper and ends up on the ground as litter.

Is too pathetic to actually work for practical solutions to combat climate change and instead resorts to slacktivism and eco terrorism because they lack the internal strength and motivation to solve problems.
Friend 1: Dude why is there so much traffic and smog today?

Friend 2: those tree hugging idiots blocked the road and caused the cars to idle, idk some stupid protest or something.

Friend 1: Why can't they get a job?

Friend 2: Probably because they blew thousands of dollars of their parents money on an un employable college major and now resort to activism as a way to cope with the fact that they are ashamed of their lack of real accomplishments in life.

Friend 1: Agreed. Fuck treehuggers.

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.

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.
