Copblocking

Common examples include flashing headlights to alert other drivers that a cop is waiting up ahead, asking a cop inane questions while they are in the process of giving someone else a ticket, or wasting an officer's time in any way, shape, or form possible.

So I totally slowed down right before we made the turn and missed that ticket -- fucking copblocked that mother fucker!

Cogblocking 

When technology, machinery, AI or an electronic device of any fashion gets in the way of you scoring or prevents you from advancing sexually or romantically with someone of interest.

Cogblocking essential holds the exact same meaning as cockblocking which normally defines a person who gets in the way or prevents someone from scoring with someone they are attracted to. Cogblocking works the exact same way with the only difference being defined by the fact that it is not a person getting in the way but instead forms of technology.

The word stems from the term Cockblocking and a Cog that would be present within a machine.

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.

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.
