mashallah
"Mashallah" or "Mash'Allah" is an Arabic phrase used to show appreciation for a person or happening. It shows respect, and also reminds that everything is achieved by the will of God. The closest English translation is "God willed it." It is used to show joy and praise, and is evoked upon hearing good news.
The phrase has found its way into the language of non-Arabs, including Turks and peoples of the Balkans, including some who are not of the Islamic faith.

Mashallah
The Arabic phrase/term MashAllah or Masha-Allah is short for the longer phrase “Mashallah-Allah Tabarak Allah” which literally translates into “that in which God has willed, He has or will bless”. However, the closest meaning and use of the phrase in the English language is that similar to the phrase “Knock on wood” to express hope for someone’s good luck to continue for a particular positive statement or as to not jinx something good.
Example 1:
Alex: Oh wow Emily, you have the cutest baby ever!
Emily: Thanks Alex, that’s very sweet of you. Say MashAllah please.
Alex: absolutely...MashAllah!
Example 2:
Jamal: yo bro, this food is amazing! MashAllah your wife is an incredibly good cook.
Mike: I know man, thank you! Alhamdulilah (Thank God) God has definitely blessed me with a great wife.

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.
