Harrop
A term of disapprobation coined from the WSJ persona of Barrie Harrop, noted promoter of windmill, photo kiosk and other dubious business schemes.
We all owe Mr Eric Nelson a vote of thanks for the following:
The Barrie Harrop MO:
1) Start with an ad hominem attack on a person he disagrees with
2) Request access to a Linked in or WSJ profile as the basis for future Ad hominem attacks
3) Cut & paste post the same stale talking points in the hope that some poor reader will actually confuse them for fact
4) Continually shill his self serving, subsidized windmill project.
5) Repeatedly bash America
6) Hold himself out as the arbiter of who is knowledgeable & who is not.
Barrie may yet obtain immortality by spawning a verb "To Harrop"
I can only imagine the various uses:
"I was having a decent conversation with this dude until he Harropped me. At that point I lost all respect and couldn't take him seriously"
or perhaps it would be used as a perjorative noun:
"I met this girl online and thought she was pretty cool. Then she opened her mouth and proved to be a total Harrop."
The possibilities are endless.......
For a year or more, comments in the Harrop genre were awarded "Harrops" on a scale of 1-10.
The practice spread to other forums where it may still be seen.

Barrie Harrop
Well known Australian WSJ commentator on any/everything having to do with the 'climate change/global warming' hoax. Apparent recipient of government and UN funding, thus having a vested interest in the subject.

Generally considered to be an obnoxious blowhard who resorts to ad hominem attacks against those who disagree with him. Given to the wildest extremes of hyperbole.

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.
