Top Friends Syndrome (TFS) 

Usually occurs when one of your friends on MySpace constantly changes your position in their topfriends, and you get pissed off. Symptoms include leaving hateful comments and/or messages on their page, moving them around in your top friends, or completely taking them off of your top friends list.

Best Friend Syndrome 

When you're really close with a member of the opposite sex and would like to date them but they refuse to date you because you are too close and they wouldn't want to make anything awkward between the two of you if the relationship didn't last.

You have best friend syndrome if...
1) You hang out with the person of your dreams more often then your friends. But ARE NOT dating.
2) They ask you to take them to an STD test or a gynecologist appointment. Or go with them as moral support to get Plan B (even though you weren't the one to have sex with her)
3) Other acts that a boy friend/girlfriend would do minus the sexual benefits, emotional attachments and etc.

Daughter: Are you kidding?! We were never dating, he just had a bad case of Best Friend Syndrome.

Audrey: Uh-oh, I think I'm starting to annoy Alexis. I should probably stop messaging her so much until my New Friend Syndrome calms down.

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."
