Barrow in Furness

The absolute shittiest place in the whole of the north west of england. Rife with unemployment, chavs and knife crime. Typical barrow lad wears a tracksuit, a shit pair of nike trainers that most likely came from a dumpster and a hoodie that has holes and cigarette burns. Nearly everyone smokes and drinks cheap carbon shite cider. It rains nearly everyday even in summer, and when they do get sun and warm weather, usually in march for a week, everyone strips off and sunbathes even though it's only 16 degrees. Famous residents include mad russ the dog walker, jamie mary and april flowers both of whom are barrow's resident trannys. Entertainment includes shagging, drinking, smoking, doing heroin, hurling abuse at police officers, revving the fuck out of cars on hollywood park or going into kavannas and skint to get trashed and walk around in other peoples' piss. If you have any sense do not go there.

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."
