imaginary girlfriend syndrome 

A condition in which a friendzoned guy begins to treat one of his female friends as a girlfriend, by being overbearing and overprotective around her

Imaginary Lat Syndrome

Imaginary Lat Syndrome is a common case of someone, typically a male, who believes they are rather muscular when in reality this isn't the case. Those with Imaginary Lat Syndrome can typically be seen walking uncomfortably while flaring their small lat muscles and tensing their arms in an attempt to look "jacked." In reality, it appears douchey and looks like a toothbrush has been shoved up their ass. Manlets are at high risk of falling victim due to overcompensation reasons.

imaginary friend

Usually as a result of not having much or any friends in reality, your mind creates an imaginary friend. Even the creator of an imaginary friend cannot see them, unless if they are on LSD, or just hallucinogenic. You're not nessecarily "crazy" if you have one.

You can just talk to them in your mind, they can think for you sometimes, you can ask them for advice or ask them to decide which movie you want to rent tonight. You can get into arguments with them, and you can have intelligent conversations with them.

But...

You can't kill them.

They might slowly fade away in time... but... I don't know...

Yeah.

Also.

You can completely change into your imaginary friend. Sad I know.
Some people have imaginary friends.

Imaginary Friend

A "character" created by the imagination to keep a person company. Sometimes, it can be difficult for the person to recognise that their "friend" is not real; at other times, they can be recognised as not being real, but are still used to offer comfort and company.
When I was three, I had one imaginary friend. When I was thirteen, I had five.

Imaginary friend

An imaginary friend is NOT the result of mental impairment. Actually, those with an imaginary friend are frequently smarter than most people (two brains in one). It's someone who is always with you, thus you are never alone. He knows you, your greatest desires and your flaws. So he usually judges you... but also the others around you. He comes often when you feel alone and need some help, or need to talk but have nobody trustworthy. An imaginary friend is really helpful, I advise you to try ! But pay attention, if your friend is comic, to not laugh too loud. People could think you're strange, even if it is a good thing, they're not really tolerant.

PS : Never let someone tell you he is not real, “Of course it is happening inside your head, but why on earth should that mean that it is not real?” (JKR)
My imaginary friend is Sirius Black, so he never died and is ALWAYS with me.

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."
