Doins
The phrase doins has many context specific meanings.
It was first derived from the question: what are you doing?, where it was condensed into: whats doin?, until finally landing on the simple and concise: doins? (see example 1). As you can see this neologism is the product of years of precise cultural refinement.
It is has been further generalised simply as a greeting that can be uttered without the expectation of an answer. (see example 2)
Doins can also be used elegantly to refer to other peoples behaviour (what they're doing) (see example 3)
Finally, the meaning of doins, when appropriate, can be extended to events where human interaction is superfluous. Essentially, anything that is happening could be the doins, the only requisite being that the doins is happening in time, because do is a verb, and requires change. In this context, the specific, enlightened meaning of doins may only be deciphered by a potent adjective proceeding it. (see examples 4 and 5)

Person 1: "you know, just the usual doins"
Example 2
Person 1: doins!
Person 2: (*gives hug while sobbing*) "you have no idea how good it is to see you."
Example 3 (In an academic context)
"Freuds doins was to uncover all of our doins: the most human doins, those doins done both consciously and unconsciously."
Example 4 (in the context of intellectual sparring)
Person 1: "Einstien famously declared that no doins can be done faster than the speed of light"
Person 2: "I think you'll find that its all relative to the velocity of those other doins"
Person 1: "the velocity of those doins will dilate any temporal doins therefore rendering the relative doins, as measured from either doins, as travelling at less then the speed of light"
Person 2:"wow you really know your doins"
Example 5 (in an existential context)

Doing a Morrison
A range of tactics for dodging your responsibilities, including (but not limited to): going missing when the going gets tough; passing the buck; and talking your way out of a tight spot with an empty promise.
Australian slang. Inspired by Australia’s 30th Prime Minister Scott Morrison.
(NOTE: ‘Doing a Morrison’ is not to be confused with ‘Getting Morrisoned’, which usually involves you losing either your pre-selection (see Michael Towke), your job (see Christine Holgate), or your credit for a job well done (see nearly everyone else).)

Delia: “What other guy? You’re doing a Morrison, aren’t you?”
“Yeah mate, it was piss easy, I just did a Morrison. Promised I’d always love her and she believed it and gave me the money.”

Frothability
The measure of an emotional and over zealous consumer in an upwardly charging market, also known as a bull market. It's characterized by rising asset prices, increased investor confidence, and favorable growth in the markets, bro.
The frothability was evident as over-zealous consumers eagerly engaged in bidding wars, driving property prices to unsustainable levels reminiscent of previous speculative bubbles.

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.
