Post-Avatar Depression 

A sadness or depression at the fact of not being able to live in a fictional world usually presented in a film, video game or book. It was given a name after the release of James Cameron's Avatar when a large amount of people expressed this feeling going as far as to say they are suicidal on internet forums. This phenomenon would later go on to inspire the creation of the Reality Shifting TikTok trend (Which is just dreaming, despite what the 14 year old girls would want you to believe.)
James: I'm really depressed after reading Harry Potter. I want to live in that world so bad.
Cameron: Well James, what you're feeling is Post-Avatar Depression. It'll go away in a few weeks.

Post Avatar Depression 

Post Avatar Depression, also known as P.A.D., occurs to a person after seeing the movie "Avatar" (By James Cameron) after immediately realizing they had fallen victim to a runaway hype train, and wasted their time and money on a blatantly derivative movie that sucks even more than the terrible movies it ripped off to begin with.
Guy 1: Wow that movie was complete trash. Just awful.

Guy 2: *Sniff* I'm such a sucker.
Guy 1: Dude, are you crying?
Guy 2: Bro... I'm a sap. I knew the movie was just Dances with Wolves in space, but Hollywood leaned on the media to ram it down our throats so hard. I just... I really bought a whole car on the hype train and it's just the worst sci-fi movie since Battlefield Earth.
Guy 1: Aww shit... looks like Post Avatar Depression...
Guy 2: I need a hug and to rewatch Andor immediately.

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.

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."
