The pleasure that a liberal-leaning journalist gets when writing a fawning story about U.S. Sen. Barack Obama (D-IL). An "obasm" is a story so gushy and so fluffy, bereft of objectivity, that one imagines having to clean up after the writer with a mop and bucket.
"Did you see the obasm the local newspaper had on the front page today? They're not even pretending to be objective anymore."

Balack Obama 

In some Asian-speaking lands (using this mispronounced version of "Black Obama"), it was believed that this is how Americans addressed Barack Obama.

In part, the confusion stemmed from the similarity of the "L" and "R" sounds within their spoken languages and the fact that the skin-color-obsessed USA focused so much attention on their first "black" president.
"So his name is not Balack Obama (aka Black Obama). It's Barack Obama!"

"Ah! So what's the diffelence?"

Obama-ing 

Saying something in public detrimental to someone else without realising or considering the detrimental effects to yourself and your own interests. As an example President Barack Obama stated that the USA would be in no hurry to secure a trade deal with a United Kingdom outside of the EU. This crude attempt at blackmail failed to take into account the fact that the UK imports as much from the USA as it exports, so American manufacturers would suffer. Not only that, no trade deal means no Scotch Whisky, no Rolls-Royce cars but it goes much further than that. The next time the USA makes a mess of its foreign policy and wants British troops to come and do some of the dying for them, guess what the answer’s going to be. Basically Obama-ing is just another way of saying talking shit.
“With his bullshit about no trade deal with the UK Obama is just Obama-ing.”
“Oh, you mean talking through his arse.”

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.
