An obscure wasting disease afflicting the denizens of the wilds of Southeastern Edio Charlistan. Named by Italian scientist Carpaccio Bucatini, who, when encountering a wild-eyed Zachary Ball (patient Zero) crashing out of a thicket of spaghetti code, is said to have cried out "E's a-swol-a!". Later shortened to the modern "Eswola".
ZBall had to work from home on Wednesday to keep from spreading eswola to the rest of the team.

Many people have been asking me what Esola is and I am here to answer that question with as much details as I can give No, Esola is not related to Ebola. You wont believe how many times I heard people saying that it is indeed related to Ebola. Esola started in Zimbabwe in 69 B.C.E. The word explains itself. Esola just means "ESOLA". I know that's a lot to take in, but that's what you guys need to know.
Me: Esola

Escolastica 

Comes from the Latin and means admirable mother and/or teacher. Mexicans will name their daughters Escolastica usually after the child's grandma. They do it after asking God and the Virgen de Guadalupe for a huge favor and if God complies they will name their daughter Escolastica without giving it a second thought. An Escolastica will get made fun of until she develops at which time guys will say its a beautiful name as a poor excuse for a compliment. Don't name your child Escolastica because its a hard name for non-Mexicans to say and the name will be butchered over and over again.
Teacher: "John Smith"

John Smith: "Here!!"

Teacher:"...Now this one is a little hard, so I'm sorry if I don't say it right....Es-..UM..-c..."

Escolastica: "Its pronounced ES-CH-LUHS-TEE-KA, Mrs."

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.
