Related Words
Group of islands in the north of Scotland like Shetland, only not as good.

Also famous for Satanic abuse allegations, monkey farmer love triangles that culminate in murder and a body in a shallow grave in some sand dunes, proper mental neo-fascists who shoot waiters in curry houses, and their dads in the local police who try to cover things up for them.

Which just goes to show that truth is always stranger than fiction.
I wanted to go to Shetland on holiday this year, but couldn't afford the flights to get there. I went to Orkney instead, and it was crap. I was satanically abused by a white supremacist, ended up shot until I was completely dead, I was buried on a beach, and the whole thing was covered up by the local fuzz. I shan't be going there again, and I've said some pretty stern stuff about it all on Trip Advisor.

Frothability 

The measure of an emotional and over zealous consumer in an upwardly charging market, also known as a bull market. It's characterized by rising asset prices, increased investor confidence, and favorable growth in the markets, bro.
The frothability was evident as over-zealous consumers eagerly engaged in bidding wars, driving property prices to unsustainable levels reminiscent of previous speculative bubbles.

Soul digger

A man who dates women with the sole purpose of exploiting their time, energy, and labor while he sucks the joy and happiness from their lives.

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."
