shiny upperclassmen syndrome 

When a boy becomes more appealing to a girl simply because he is older than her, specifically if he is an upperclassman (junior or senior in high school). It seems many younger girls are drawn to older guys for this reason, even if he doesn't really have much else going for him. For girls, dating up is somewhat prestigious.
I suppose this could also apply in college, but I have not yet come across that scenario.
"Why does she even like him? He isn't very cute and his personality is just so-so..."

"She must have shiny upperclassmen syndrome."

Upperclassmen 

The Juniors and Seniors of a high school they are attending. In other words, eleventh and twelfth graders.

Often they are feared the non-upperclassmen, usually freshmen.
Eleventh Grader: YES! We're eleventh graders! That makes us upperclassmen!!!
Ninth Grader: Uh-ohh.... I'm afraid of getting in the way of an upperclassmen....

Upperclassmen 

Upperclassmen are the juniors and seniors in high school or a 4-year college. Freshmen are often intimidated by them, due to the upperclassmen being older than them and knowing everything more than they do.

Sophomores are still in the underclassmen ranks, but appear to be more respected than the freshmen. Usually when school is out for the summer, the sophomores are excited to become upperclassmen (aka: juniors) the following year. The juniors are excited to become seniors, and the freshmen are worrying about what will happen to them when they become sophomores.
Here's a story...

Sophomore 1: Hey, school is out! And in 3 more months, we will be upperclassmen! Also known as juniors!

Sophmore 2: Ikr! It's gonna be so cool! We can be twice as cool like the seniors!

3 months later...

Junior 1: Yes! We are officially juniors! Lets go scare some freshmen, shall we?

Junior 2: Hell yeah!

After the prank...

Freshman 1: Why do upperclassmen have to be so mean?

Freshman 2: Probably, because they think that they know everything more than we do

Upperclassmen 

The two highest grades in High School before College. They are Juniors and Seniors, and are absolute dickheads to lowerclassmen just because they exist. However, not all are this way, but most of them that you'll meet will hate lowerclassmen for no reason. Once lowerclassmen become upperclassmen, they want that feeling of power, and will repeat the harassment that the previous upperclassmen did to them.
Upperclassmen: Haha! You lowerclassmen are nothing but mislead fucktards that don't know your place! We will pick on you, treat you as inferiors, and make fun of you until we leave out of this fucking dump for good! Pick up my shit, hand it to me, and don't make us mad!

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.
