paddy's law
"A well-known rule that any reddit thread that becomes large enough will eventually have an American pretending to be Irish." -u/MacHaggis
Americans often like to identify themselves as the nationality of their ancestors despite not having that nationality themselves. They'll claim to be Irish on forums like Reddit, where you expect someone saying they're Irish to be from Ireland.
While interacting with people actually from Ireland, they still claim to be Irish despite having no connection to the country. Usually they cite culture and bloodlines as the justification.

"I'm Irish, which is why I've always wanted to visit Ireland. My great-great grandmother was from Ireland, so I'm both culturally and genetically Irish. I grew up hearing all about Ireland because it's my family's homeland. I've never heard of 'The Troubles' though, is that a new band?"
"As an actual Irish person, you're not Irish, you're American. Paddy's law strikes in every goddamn thread."

Paddy's Peril
An ultra smooth cocktail served on the rocks in a chilled champagne glass. Contains 60 ml Baileys Irish Cream, 30 ml vodka, 30 ml coconut milk, dash of grenadine. Very sweet and satisfying. Goes down like a highly alcoholic chocolate milk. Enjoy.
The Paddy's Peril can easily be passed off as a glass/flask of chocolate milk in any place or for any occasion. I'm not suggesting you could take it to work and drink it right in front of your boss without him/her ever having the slightest idea, but there you go. ;)

Paddy's bike
So called because to charge the cylinder you had to stand in the cut-outs in the body and jump up and down before tripping the magneto and causing the huge cylinder to fire. The Irish construction workers were so adept at this, and with the rammer being so cumbersome, they could 'ride' the rammer across the site to the trench by remaining stood in the side cut-outs! As a young plant mechanic, I was amazed to actually see this skill in action - Truly, paddy's bike!

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.
