Obeausity
A portmanteau of the words "obesity" and "beauty" coined by comedian Jon Stewart in his 2004, "America (The Book): A Citizen's Guide to Democracy Inaction". It predicts the rise of the "Fat Acceptance" and "Health at Every Size" and the rise of the related term, "BBW" (Big Beautiful Woman) by over a decade:
"Around 2015, Americans will realize it would be much easier to change their standard of beauty than to lose weight. From that point on, we will embrace our indulgent lifestyles. Gyms will close, fad binge books will rule the best-seller lists, and singles ads will end with the phrase "Yes fatties."
It shows a picture of a clearly morbidly obese woman with the caption, "In the future, you will want to 'tap' this."
While meant to be satirical, the 2015 date in particular is considered especially prescient as that is the year the first morbidly obese-sized model, Tess Holiday (Tess Munster) was signed on as a model by a major professional agency.
By 2021, Tess Holiday was first featured on the cover of Cosmopolitan magazine, came out as an "anorexic", and Victoria's Secret officially retired the traditional "angels" model of thin beauty and announced their new "body positive" role models for their fashion shows moving forward.
The term also coincides with the rejection in Fat Acceptance circles of the scientific BMI (Body Mass Index) as racist and white-centric.
The term, "obeausity", never caught on in favor of terms like "infinifat" or "Tessorexia".

Tessie: With the increase of waistlines and the prevalence of obesity in the United States and globally, obeausity and body positivity are the new beauty standard.
Sasha: No, that's just an old-school name for Tessorexia.

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.

dead drop
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.

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.
