Norbering 

The participation in several events on a single occasion / night.

Making plans with several parties, and trying to keep all appointments with no party aware of the others.
A common plot device in sitcoms, and comedy films.
Jerry: "I have decided to have two dates in one day, to save time"
George: "But how will you be able to meet two girls on the same night"
Jerry: "It is the delicate art of time balancing. I meet one a little early, and for a short date, so I have enough time to meet another girl a little late the same night. Better yet, I decided to meet both in the same place, to save time"
George: "I don't know Jerry, this kind of Norbering could get you into a lot of trouble"
Jerry: "Nonsense, my good friend Norber is doing that for year, and no one is the wisest"

Nerding out 

When you're discussing something geeky very intensely.

When you know a lot of information about something unusual, usually nerdy, and express it with great enthusiasm.
Bruce: Batman never killed his villains until Robin died, which is the only reason why people began to call him 'The Dark Knight'. And in the series 'The Dark Knight Returns', Robin was a girl after Jason died.

Wayne: Dude, relax. I only said I was excited for The Dark Knight.

Bruce: Sorry, I was nerding out for a minute there.

Neandering 

The tendency for men to resort to their primordial caveman tendencies when they are without women for an extended period of time.
Us guys went camping in the wild last week, and after a couple of days we were doing some serious neandering. Tom caught a 10" trout with his bare hands. Dick killed a squirrel by throwing a stone at it, and Harry started a fire by rubbing 2 sticks together.

nerding it up 

To become a nerd for a temporary amount of time e.g. to study intensively.

Can be abbreviated as NIU.
Person A: Hey don't you have your final exam tomorrow?
Person B: Yeah man, that's why I'm nerding it up tonight for 5 hours.

Person A: Yo, have you studied for your test yet?
Person B: Just about to NIU.

Nerdjerking 

Very similar to nerdjacking, but when a person digresses into extreme detail about any and every uninteresting topic. While a nerdjacker tends to "go into extreme and/or unnecessary detail about one’s passion," the nerdjerker will go on about any given subject and usually has very little or absolutely no expertise on the topic (although they speak with such detail that the naive could be fooled into thinking the nerdjerker actually knows what he/she is talking about). Nerdjerking is not aimed at only one passion, as the typical nerdjerker is passionate about any random, irrelevant, topic.

It's easy to fall victim of a nerdjerker's tangent. Regardless of your obvious lack of interest in the topic; nerdjerkers will continue talking until you run away. No matter what, do not respond or input your opinion. This will only cause the person to believe that you actually care about what he/she is talking about and will continue on with an increased passion.
Jane: I accidentally mentioned the economy to Alice and she went off for an hour about how the cost of pens are the cause for poverty. I had no clue what she was even talking about.

Jamie: Yea, you've got to be careful. Alice loves nerdjerking and there is no stopping her once she starts talking. Never mention and of her exes or she will nerdjerk for hours.

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."
