ghoster coaster 

While dating, when one person seems to be ghosting the other but then miraculously reappears once again after the other has come to terms with being the ghostee and is already over it. They often make a routine of it, thus causing an up and down roller coaster effect.
Friend #1: girrrl did you ever hear from that dude again after he ghosted you?
Friend #2: ya! He sent me a message asking how I’m doing. I’m not gonna reply. I ain’t out here to ride the ghoster coaster.

1)Usually a guy who you meet (either online or in some random encounter) who seems to be your soulmate because he likes all the same music and all the same movies, he tells you how amazing you are and says he wants to have a serious relationship. Then when you want to meet him again (or for the first time in person if you met online) he says he is super busy but he really wants to see you soon... then he suddenly stops being in touch with you, ignores calls, cancels any plans you made, changes his number, blocks you or seems to vanish from the face of the earth. Essentially he is so sweet you cannot understand why he would not be answering unless something terrible happened like he died and you have no way of knowing. He becomes a ghost. He haunts your thoughts and you can never figure out what happened.
Similar to when someone is a catfish except that often everything he said about his favorite music and where he went to high school etc. was really true but he has lied about one thing that he doesn't want you to know like he is already married or he said he had a job but he is really unemployed and broke and doesn't want you to find out.
2)Also a real boyfriend who loves you and treats you like a princess... until he finds someone better and doesn't have the heart to break up with you because he thinks it is too difficult to break up and he is a scared pansy ....so he just blocks you and unfriends you on FB and totally vanishes without a word.
Girl 1: My boyfriend hasn't called in a month... I hope he is okay... do you think he maybe broke his phone or lost it?
Girl 2: No hun, that guy is a ghoster and you are never gonna see him again so move on before you go crazy wondering what happened.

Ghoster's Guilt 

When you ghost someone and you feel so bad for ghosting them because you're actually deep down a decent person, so you text them after 3 weeks and give them a late ass lame excuse on why you went MIA and why it won't work out.
Ghoster's Guilt can be defined as sending a message like, "Hey. Sorry that I've disappeared. I've been dealing with a lot of personal problems these past few weeks. You're so full of energy and a fun person to be around. I wish I could get to know you better but I don't think I have the emotional energy for it. It's not fair to you. I'm sorry. :(" to the person you ghosted for 3 weeks.

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."
