Misery Chain 

A “Misery Chain” describes the "endless cycle" of bad parenting.

"Fucked up parents" create "fucked up kids" who grow up to have more fucked up kids of their own, which keeps the Misery Chain going on and on into the future.

"Misery Chains" are often created by selfish or stupid people with no insight or sense of ethics: playboys, players, skanks, sluts, floozies, druggies, crack heads, dark friends, beach trolls, hill trolls, city trolls and trolls in general.
Wow, she created one “misery chain” having all those “screwed-up” kids by a bunch of different “screwed-up” guys.

Ges Misérables 

Ges Misérables or ges misérables (pronounced ‘Gay Miz-eh-rahb’) is the ‘Gay Misery’ or mournful depression occasionally experienced with gays faced by overwhelming complexity and societal opposition to their lifestyle ‘choice’. Unbeknownst to most heterosexuals, it requires tremendous psychic energy to even roll out of bed and face a world that is often violently hostile to the way a person thinks, speaks, dresses, walks, votes, emotes and makes love.
Julian was reconciled to his lifestyle choice and seldom experienced ges misérables. Julian’s lover James was no so fortunate however, and often knew despondent freefall into the vast royal blue abyss of the Ges Misérables.

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.
