January 26er

A term used to describe a die-hard fan of NBA legend Kobe Bryant, who will often go to great lengths to push the narrative of Kobe's GOAT argument. In the process, they will also tend to completely discredit the career of LeBron James.

This term is a cross-reference between a January 6er (a person who stormed the U.S. Capitol Building in support of then-President Donald Trump) and January 26th, Kobe's tragic date of death.

Most January 26ers hail from the city of Los Angeles, but they can realistically live just about anywhere on the map.

They also tend to have a very heavy presence on Twitter/X, and can often be found either retweeting Kobe highlights, or deep in NBA-related threads arguing aggressively in support of their favorite player.

They are also swift to dismiss comparisons to Tim Duncan, as they firmly believe that Michael Jordan is the only player comparable to Kobe.

(For context, Tim Duncan was Kobe's most significant rival as a player, with both of them winning 5 championships for their respective teams and are both widely regarded as the two faces of the 2000's era of NBA Basketball.)

This term is essentially equivalent to the term "Bronsexual", but to instead be used against Kobe stans.

Important Note: This term is not to be used against ALL fans of Kobe, but only those with an unnecessary hatred towards LeBron.

Most of them are also completely oblivious to the fact that Kobe and LeBron had nothing but deep respect for each other off the court.
January 26er: Did you know that LeBron went 4-6 in the finals? He needed a superteam and a half just to win anything. Kobe would never!

Me: *sighs* here we go again...

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."
