Sanan ( סנן In Hebrew ) is a slang term used to describe a person who constantly avoids answering to calls and messages. In order to be a true Sanan, one has to actively ignore messages and calls directed to him when it's convenient.

Sanans typically like to say that they are not ignoring messages even though every fact states otherwise, and sometimes they even go further and claim that you are the true Sanan. Make sure to always answer your messages!

Sabanated 

Proper verb. Synoymous with "terminated". It is what happens to formerly popular and successful college football coaches after particularly embarrassing or multiple losses to coach Nick Saban and and his team, the Crimson Tide of the University of Alabama. The term applies whether the affected coach is fired in shame, or is allowed to step down and maintain a degree of dignity.
Who do you think will be the next great coach to get "Sabanated" and leave the SEC for good?

She's a brilliant friend who will listen to you no matter what. The name literally means patience. She is really funny and she will care for you more than you think. She is an angel in disguise who knows to handle situation with ease and perfection. If treated right, she can give you the whole world just to make you smile. One should treat her well if he/she wants to be treated well because she's a believer in "tit for tat". If you are looking for a person with a warm heart, Sahana is the one you are looking for. If you have Sahana as a friend, you have an angel as a friend.
Oh my god! You have got Sahana as your friend? Just like a needle in a haystack.

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."
