social loner

An individual who enjoys spending time alone just as much as spending time with people; however, he or she is quickly worn out by large crowds and must withdraw from people for a while in order to balance themselves out yet again. These individuals are naturally quiet, inconsistent, and very easily bored.
A "social loner" will sit in a room alone for hours on end, and will comfortably be more entertained than if they were at a social event, but only because intelligent people are a rarity these days, and all others a waste of time.

A loner finds comfort driving, walking and shopping alone. They do not do well with groups as they are not two faced. They find hooking up with others and setting a timeline to meet can become aggravating. They can become impatient with others. They are thinkers and love to solve problems and make improvements. They love laying out in the sun and just daydream. They may love to sit out and fish but become sad when they see the catch struggling. The loner is always watching, listening and thinking. If they sit alone they do not sit with their back to the door. A loner studies life around them and loves the simple things in life. A loner loves the wind, rain, sun and clouds grasping every season with open arms. A loner has zero tolerance for negative uppity people. A loner loves people that have a good sense of humor without being mean or obnoxious. A loner is a loner by choice as they have a inner clock that may suddenly tell them to switch gears and they have learned to listen to their feelings, not doing so they may become agitated. A loner loves their pets as they are much like her....independent!
A loner walks alone, observing, independent and loves life.

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.

Person B: "Wow, EBK."
