emoposer 

A person, usually ranges from the ages 11-14, who tries to take part in the emo scene to be 'cool' or to 'fit in'.
Probably wouldn't be emo if all their friends weren't and it wasn't the 'trend'. Almost always likes pop emo bands like: Fall Out Boy, Panic! At The Disco, and The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus. More times than not lies about cutting and dying their own hair. Usually the emo poser has a mainstream twist to the emo look, because after all, they all are the same breed: trend followers. This means that the girl emo poser could be wearing a black polka dotted shirt with a long pearl necklas, but at the same time have the black and white blonde emo hair with lots of eyeliner and a pair of vans.
most of them are middle class white kids with no problems whats so ever.
emoposer: i like totally went to the sale at hot topic yesterday ^^ *giggles*

emoposer1: *flips the fringe* Yeah, okay. Cool ^^.

emotowel 

Though this may have another name, this is the not-so new trendy fashion accessory for those who feel like the whole world really is just against them (they're probably right). This may be some sort of symbiotic approach, emo kids have a new pointless accessory from the deaths of American-troop-supported Muslims, and the teatowels have a new reason to live.
*jumps at emokid, tears off his emotowel, wrestles it to the ground*

Me: Phew, you're lucky, it was going for your neck.

Stereotypical Emo Kid: Oh, I hadn't noticed, was too busy reminiscing about how everyone hates me. Maybe I'll go write a song or a poem about it now...

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."
