God damn! I could keep going, but this is getting mighty hectic, so I'll stop at 50. Please pay no mind to the completely random order. I gave up on trying to put them in order from the get-go. Also, please note that 2Pac, Biggie, Master P, and all other thugs/studio gangstas/basketball players have no place on this list precisely because they have no place in Hip-Hop. If you don't believe me, then you must be young and dumb. I grew up on Hip-Hop, and I remember when 2Pac was just a dancer for Digital Underground. That was before he got the "Juice," podna!

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.
