Morris Ball 

A game of baseball invented by Morris Middleton. Played by the kids in his neighborhood, with him as coach. They will often try to hit him with a bat, but more often than not they won't. The idea of Morris Ball is to chase Morris with the bat and tag him with the ball, thus scoring a run. Whoever tags him the most times wins the game. This was first played in the Middleton's strip May 25, 2005.
Bryant: (walking down Nuthatch Lane and sees the Middleton's house. Hec is across from Bryant) Hey Hec, let's go scare Morris. Let's play Morris Ball!!!

Hec: You're on!! I used to play baseball a lot when I was a kid. Memphis Redbirds, remember?

Bryant: (chanting) I'm gonna scare on Mor-ris. I'm gonna scare on Mor-ris!

Hec: Okay, but let's be quiet so he doesn't see. (takes his baseball bat and sneaks up behind Morris tagging him)

Morris: (turns around scared) What did you do that for? Were you playing Morris Ball?

Bryant: We sure were! We just wanted to scare you.

Morris: Well, you sure scared me. Want to chase me? Try to tag me again. (he runs off laughing)

Hec: Watch out, he's sneaky! We're gonna have to get up really close to him. (starts laughing)

Bryant: (runs up behind Morris) Boo!!!! Gotcha again! Now isn't this fun?

Morris: Yes! It sure is. We'll have to teach this one to mom. She'd love it!

Bryant: Gunny Granny? She coaches this dang stuff. She wouldn't want to play it. But then again, she's probably scream if we tagged her.

Beatrice: (hearing Bryant) Who says I wouldn't want to play that. Looks like fun, honey. Can I play the next game with you, too?

Bryant: Anytime. Morris Ball is awesome.

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."
