Mediocrite 

A cooler more dismissive way of saying mediocre, which rhymes with meteorite.

It is also a variation of inferiorite.
Tom: IT folks saved some dough by installing laptop memory not made in the USA. We had nothing but crashes and trouble as a result.
Kenny: Yeah, management oughta fire them. They're nothing but a bunch of mediocrites.

Lisa: Those reports are bugging me. Every time I finish one, my boss asks me for two more. It's been driving me insane all week long.
Mary: Have you been using a reporting tool?
Lisa: Spreadsheets... nothing more! Management isn't willing to shell out any money for a reporting package.
Mary: How about you purchase one with money from your own salary? It would save you quite some time and trouble at work after all.
Lisa: I thought about it. I could barely keep up with my rent and kids. You want me to pay for professional reporting software with my own money too? Forget about it.
Mary: That's what you get for working for a bunch of mediocrites. It's time to step up and quit to join a better company that actually deserves you.

premium mediocre 

Attempts at being upscale when you have little clue what class really is. An attempt to be fancy, when it's in fact little more than a polished meh. A little splurge to get fancy, when it's flexing a little bit of status from spent money more than achieving a high standard of quality. Still essentially mediocre, but with some fancy frills polishing the appearance without substantial improvement.

Originally coined by Venkatesh Rao in 02017 "Premium mediocre is the finest bottle of wine at Olive Garden." it has quickly spread from Twitter throughout the intarwebz.
"I wanted to impress her, so I took her to a fancy restaurant." "Yeah bro? Like where?" "Red Lobster" "Man, that ain't fancy, that's just premium mediocre."

McMansions are about as premium mediocre as you can get.

Mediocity 

Mat "Pookie" Swingle's favorite "word", which in fact isn't a word at all. It was just mediocrity misspelled on a Panda Express fortune cookie that Mat found when he was 12.
Mat showed me the fortune cookie paper while we were hanging out one day. It said, and I quote, " Be broke or be wealthy, but never accept mediocity."

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.
