bookstore 

A horrible, horrible place located on college campuses throughout the United States. One of the few places in the nation where highway robbery and wallet rape is still legal and encouraged. When you walk in be prepared to drop $200 on a stupid hard cover book that you will use at most for three months and then never again (note: this is per class). Prior to walking in, be sure to savor the last few steps of pain free existence for the next several days, because once you walk out you will feel anally pillaged and violated.
John: "Dude are you ok I see you are walking with a gimp?"

Steve: "I will be fine in a couple days. My asshole just needs to recover from the pounding it took at the bookstore. I mean $230 for a book? I wouldn't even pay that much for sex let alone some stupid book."

John: "I know what you mean man. I was ravished by the bookstore just last week."

Bookstore bum 

A person who regularly spends several hours inside a bookstore without the intention of ever buying anything.

The most despicable behaviors of a bookstore bum include but are not limited to: pulling umpteen magazines off the rack and getting oily disgusting fingers on most pages then leaving every molested book and magazine adrift, reading in the prone position in the middle of an aisle, and wasting away sleeping in a chair that was provided for actual customers.
Actual bookstore customer: "I would love to take a look down the non-fiction section but there is a grown man sprawled out in the aisle like a child while reading Harry Potter. They've got to do something about these bookstore bums!"

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.

EBK stands for "Elite Ball Knowledge." 1 In internet slang, "ball knowledge" originally referred to a deep understanding of football/soccer or basketball, but it has evolved into a broader term for having a highly sophisticated, deep, or niche understanding of any specific topic (such as music, movies, or subcultures).
Person A: "That scene was a direct homage to an unreleased 1982 Japanese indie film."
Person B: "Wow, EBK."
