Copyright Strike 

Copyright strikes are warnings given to YouTubers for playing a song that is copyrighted or using copyrighted content.
A strike given to YouTubers for one of the three reasons:
- Stolen content
- Someone playing "ITS RAINING TACOS" and being an annoying little rat that you want to stomp its skull out
- Your channel being hacked and YouTube having no common sense

copyright strike

When used as an Urban Dictionary slang, this term refers to how long a free movie is (still able to be) around on YouTube before it's eventually taken down due to a copyright strike.
You’d better watch the "Florida Project" movie on YouTube right now, man. Yeah, it's a 2017 drama movie starring my favorite actor, Caleb Landry Jones. But since the full movie is on YouTube, its "theatrical window" is usually short before the studio hits it with a copyright strike.

Six Strikes Copyright Alert System

Arthur: I just illegally downloaded the new Batman movie from Torrents and it looks amazing.

Greg: Dude your ISP Cablevision is going to slow down your bandwidth or terminate your account if you keep that up.

Arthur: Why?

Greg: Haven't your hear of the Six Strikes Copyright Alert System that allows your internet provider to monitor your downloads?

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.
