Mayweather Exception
A loophole that protects a very narrow subset of athletes and celebrities from the typical criticism, judgement, backlash most would experience following transgressions such as: racially insensitive or anti-LGBT comments, criminal activity, drug or alcohol abuse, rampant promiscuity, flaunting/squandering of wealth, involvement in altercations, etc.
This loophole is granted only to select few individuals who have, over time, built such a negative and illustrious resume of actions, behaviors, statements, etc. that they are seen as too far gone and disconnected, unaffected by backlash, insane or delusional, or not worth attacking
Examples include: Floyd Mayweather Jr., Charlie Sheen, Eminem, Lenny Dykstra, Courtney Love
(coined by sportswriter/blogger named Jeremy Morris in 2017)

Floyd Mayweather yet again showed us all why he’s the ultimate Mayweather Exception guy with that response. He’s clearly never heard of the MeToo movement but managed to answer the question by talking about a couple of his million dollar cars.
Courtney Love was hammered trying to parallel park on the sidewalk on TMZ but she’s definitely earned the Mayweather Exception as far as drinking/drug use so no ones really surprised. Imagine if Taylor Swift was drunk driving on TMZ. Twitter would crash.

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.
