Facebook Fable
When telling a "Facebook fable", you're basically altering the truth. When asked by an old acquaintance or friend what you've been doing for the last few years, you realy don't want to admit that you've accomplished nothing of importance. Rather than telling what you've done, you tell the story the way you would have liked it all to be.
Jenny: Hey mate, it's been ages. How are you? What have you been up to for the last couple of years?
Bob:Hey Jenny. 'Oh, I dunno really, just doing this and that. Did some parachuting, jetskiing, travelled, did a year in the service and got myself a really hot grilfriend. You?
"In fact, Bob shat himself in the plane, refusing to get near the door of the little plane, went to the beach and watched other people on jetskis, left London to spend a day with his grandmother in Manchester, got kicked out of the army after a week 'cause he got high in the parkinglot and made out with a skanky 34-year old at the pub. He's told Jenny a Facebook Fable!"

the moral of the fable
son: dad why was i taken to police station for public drunkenness, even if I didn't a bottle of alcohol on me?
father, lol, the moral of the fable is, that, when you drink, and then walk around in public, even if you don't actually have the bottle on you, you still have the smell of the firewater on your breath, especially if it's something hard, like whiskey. an experienced police officer, when they come close enough to talk to you, can actually smell the stuff on your breath.

fable
Locker Fables
(A.K.A. Hall Fables)- When one has a story to tell others in the time between classes, and must be cut down to bare plot points in order to make it to the next class in time. Such stories may not be described long enough or in enough detail to be proven correct, this may be the cause of wildfire rumors.
Friend 1: "Dude, I just heard a couple epic Locker Fables!"
Friend 2: "What were they about?"
Friend 1: "I don't know much, but I heard the new girl was impregnated by a cow, and then did a Alligator Fuckhouse or something like that"
Friend 2: "......well at least you made it to Econ on time."

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.

dead drop
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.

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.
