no harm no foul 

I think this phrase actually began in basketball. If there isn't any harm inflicted to stop a game, then there should be no foul called.

It's used commonly today to brush off insults or mistakes and the like.
Gerchewd: Hey sorry - my butt just accidentally grazed your arm.
Doughlas:Hey man, no harm no foul.

Gerchewd: Yyyyyeah.

No Harm No Foul 

If a phrase that originated on the basketball court. It is in reference to referees or players on the streetball court calling soft fouls.

In the eyes of some, soft fouls being called only slow the game and detract from the contest and beleive that unless the contact is significant there is no point in calling the foul. Hence, No harm, no foul.
Example A
Player A: 'you fouled me'
Player B: 'come on man, no harm no foul'

Example B
Referee blows whistle for soft hands foul
Player: 'come on man, no harm no foul'

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.
