Busting My Balls 

An often vital practice relating to relationship-maintenance. Relationship counselors broadly refer to this as preserving “healthy vulnerability,” or tletting down your guard, being completely honest,in order to demonstrate loyalty, love, trust, and willingness to self-sacrifice for a friend who might not immediately appreciate such risk, interpreting it instead as intrusiveness and abuse at first.

Theory: A constant background level of nagging can insure that when you do “lose your shit,” you will be around supportive friends who are willing to change your emotional diaper. The insult-trading practice of “Playing the dozens” use to serve a similar purpose in the Black community until it fell out of fashion due to its historically-repugnant origins in slavery (devaluation/objectification when slaves were bundled by the dozen). It's a social means to avoid the emptiness of “I’m fine” when checking in with a friend who may be too full of grit to want to burden others with personal problems. This is also why in New York City, “F*ck you!” and “F*ck you too!” have respectively come to replace “Hello my friend! Are you truly okay?” and “Why yes I am. Thank you for caring so sincerely and deeply!”
Busting My Balls:

Tony and Vincenzo were busting each other's balls until Vincenzo broke down and admitted he he had to put down his 25-year old retriever, Zeus, today. We should bring him some Stromboli and get blotto with him later.

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.
