Baby Boomer resentment
"Baby Boomer resentment" is a term used to describe the growing feeling of resentment among "Millennials" that they are working to pay for the Social Security and Medicare of Baby Boomers, but they are paying into a system that will be bankrupt and gone by the time they are old enough to retire and have the same benefits. They feel they will be robbed. . . . . . . {The Millennial Generation (or Millennials), also known as Generation Y, describes the demographic group following Generation X. Since there are no exact dates (as of 2011) for when the Millennial Generation starts and ends, commentators have used birth dates ranging somewhere from the mid-1970s to the early 2000s. Members of this generation are also called Echo Boomers, due to the significant increase in birth rates through the 1980s and into the 1990s, and because many of them are children of Baby Boomers}. . . . . . . {A Baby Boomer is a person who was born during the demographic Post-World War II baby boom, from 1946 to 1964}.
Minnennial speaking: "I have 'Baby Boomer resentment' because I'm going to be working all of my life to pay for millions of retired Baby Boomers and when I am old enough to retire there won't be any Social Security or Medicare for me."

pod person

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.
