Ikhtamnet
Pronunciation: EEKH-TAHM-NEE-EHT
Plural: ikhtamnets; ikhtamnety
Russian troops taking part in a military conflict in another country's territory whose presence is denied by the Russian government.
If evidence is presented that proves that these troops are, in fact, Russian, the Russian government comes up with the lamest excuse possible (usually saying that these troops have left the army years prior, and came into the conflict zone by their own will) in order to try and avoid international outrage and/or sanctions. This, of course, never works, because, to Russia's disappointment, people aren't generally stupid enough to fall for that.
The term gained popularity among the people of post-Soviet countries after Russia's annexation of Crimea and parts of Donbas.
The term comes from Russian "Их там нет" (They are not there).

Ukrainian general: Hey, we captured this guy near Donetsk, and he admitted on camera that he is currently serving in the Russian army! His papers also prove it! How do you explain that?!
Putin: What do you mean? That man hasn't been in the army since 2011! Here's a document proving it.

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.
