Uncle Tim

The term originated in poor faith towards a white anti-racist activist Tim Wise.
That guy is challenging my racist behavior, and he's white too!?! What an Uncle Tim!

Does he hate white people?

Uncle Tim 

Uncle Tim is that uncle who never stops talking. You often avoid confrontation with him because you know that he could spend 45 minutes talking about the smallest of things.
You will know if you have an Uncle Tim if you have ever experienced the following:
You hear the doorbell ring. You peak your head down the hallway to see who it is, and it's your Uncle Tim. Instead of letting him in like a kind person would do, you precede to hide in hopes that he will think that you are out and leave. If you knew that your Uncle Tim was going to be coming over you could probably avoid these things, but one of the many wonderful things about Uncle Tim is that he comes to your house unannounced, with no prior warning at all. An Uncle Tim is still under the impression that just because he is family, he can just drop by your house any time he wants, unannounced, uninvited, not even a friendly phonecall to say "hey could I come over?" This is mostly due to the fact that Uncle Tim's never really get invited anywhere, so after many years of this they just invite themselves, with no prior warning. You also try to avoid talking to your Uncle Tim on the phone, because just because he isn't face to face with you, that doesn't mean he can't talk to you for an hour on the phone. If you get a call from your Uncle Tim, you usually lie that you can't talk right now because the shower is running.
At the end of the day, when everything is all said an done, your Uncle Tim is a nice guy who means well, and you actually agree with a lot of the things he says, it's just that he doesn't know when enough is enough and he lacks common courtesy for others. You would never get rid of him, even if you could, because even though your life might be more peaceful and calm, family gatherings just wouldn't be the same without your Uncle Tim sitting all alone in the house while everybody else is outside, wanting so bad for someone to come inside so he can give them a 45 minute speech on proper table manners!

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.

Person B: "Wow, EBK."
