Afropean 

Term to describe the trans-cultural influences of (..usually...) mixed race individuals, or members of the black diaspora living in Europe.

Afropriation 

A portmanteau of the words "Afro" - meaning something associated with Sub-Saharan Africa, and "appropriation" - as in "cultural appropriation". One who engages in Afropriation is called an "Afropriator".

Afropriation refers to the trend of those in the SSA diaspora (particularly African-Americans) who either inappropriately adopt or outright steal elements of a peoples culture or history. This is seen most often in Afrocentric circles, wherein they commonly target the culture and history of people such as Ancient Egyptians, Berbers (usually incorrectly called "Moors"), Native Americans, and Ancient Israelites. This involves allegations that those peoples were actually "Black" (i.e. Sub-Saharan African) and that, as SSAs, Afropriators have the right to claim and adopt their culture and histories as their own. These actions almost always carry racist overtones, such as harassment and denigration of the peoples modern descendants, usually called "fakes" and racial slurs (examples include "Five-dollar Indians" for Native Americans and "Jew-ish Khazars" for Jews) and conspiracy theory-laden accusations of plots and cabals throughout history seeking to deprive SSAs of some kind of better, glorious past. Afropriators rely heavily on pseudohistorical "evidence", works by discredited authors - ranging from those who retained a modicum of respect from their peers despite their claims, such as Cheikh Anta Diop, to out-right laughingstocks, such as S.O.Y. Keita - and doctored pictures.
Person A: "So I saw this guy engaging in Afropriation earlier."
Person B: "What’s that?"
Person A: "Well you know when you see a Black person haphazardly using ancient Egyptian symbolism and claiming that they were actually Black and that modern Egyptians are just "thieving Arabs"? That’s a prime example of Afropriation."
Person B: "Wow. What complete and utter idiots."

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.
