Filmcels are incels (involuntary celibates) that share an extreme interest in film and movies in general. These guys are usually very creepy and it's a good idea to stay away from them before they tell you that you look like Ramona Flowers.
"I went on a date with a guy last night. He told me his favorite movie is Joker - what a filmcel."

A "filmcel" is that incel, or group of incels, in every film class that won't shut up about Quentin Tarantino or Stanley Kubrick. Their favorite genres are action, horror, or comedy but they'll make sure to point out they don't like romcoms. Filmcel repulse their classmates by talking over every woman in the class, constantly using film terminology out of context, and laughing at their own poorly timed joke. Occasionally they can be an entertaining common enemy for the class but often times their misogynistic opinions and obsession with hearing their own voice is simply insufferable. Filmcels don't watch movies they watch "films" and those films are just Fight Club and Joker. Bonus points if they wear a newsboy cap.
"Today in class this filmcel said a he really related to Kevin Spacey's character in American Beauty."

Filmception 

The belief after watching a film that it could be real life. Most well known cases are the matrix (the belief that we are all in a game) and inception (the belief that we are all dreaming and everything is inside the mind of the person believing this). Most cases are harmless fun for kids but can lead to a warped perception of real life (people thinking inception is real have killed themselves in the belief that they will wake up afterwards in the real world)
Robs gone mad after watching inception. He keeps waking sleeping people up with a 'kick' to bring them back up one dream level & thinking he can act like an idiot cos hes dreaming!" "I know! Major case of filmception

A self proclaimed "cinephile" who I unironically uses letterboxd and usually disregard films made by women as garbage even though they are lonely as fuck and are never going to have a girlfriend even after they're futile attempts at emotionally manipulating women.

"Yeah, and then he said that he was 'depressed' and that he needed me, then called me sexy and asked if I watched Tarkvosky-"

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.

Person A: "That scene was a direct homage to an unreleased 1982 Japanese indie film."
Person B: "Wow, EBK."
