Have a day
An intended derivative and omission of “nice” from the far more colloquial “have a nice day”. Said as a bare minimum “polite” response when one is aggravated or feels sleighted.
It’s polite in the sense that it intuitively sounds like have a nice day and basically implies that the speaker cares enough about the recipient that they hope the recipient doesn’t die...at least for today.
However it’s also borderline rude, and could be perceived as a way of indirectly telling someone to fuck off, depending on the context. It intentionally omits “nice,” implying that the speaker is either in a general not-nice mood, or does not care about the recipient enough to wish them a nice day per se. Still more graceful than telling someone to piss off, as you can always feign ignorance to any malicious intent.

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.
