Seapretense
A portmanteau of "sealioning" and "pretense," describing a form of bad-faith interaction where instead of asking endless questions, the aggressor treats the opponent as completely wrong, delusional, insane, or mentally ill—or pretends to completely disagree with them—as a tactic to exhaust, silence, or provoke. Seapretense is sealioning's more aggressive cousin: where sealioning hides behind feigned curiosity, seapretense hides behind feigned certainty. The seapretender doesn't ask questions; they declare you crazy, they act as if your position is obviously absurd, they perform disagreement so total that any response seems futile. The goal is the same: to exhaust you into silence, to provoke you into reactions that can be screenshotted, to run the social gauntlet against you. Seapretense is particularly effective because it's harder to counter than sealioning—how do you prove you're not crazy? How do you respond to someone who's already decided you're wrong?
Example: "She tried to explain her position, but he just kept seapretending: 'You're clearly delusional.' 'Only a mentally ill person would believe that.' 'I can't even engage with this level of insanity.' No questions, no engagement—just pretense that she was obviously wrong. Seapretense had done its work: she was defending her sanity, not her argument."

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.
