tardigrade amnesia 

When you get so drunk you somehow become impervious to any sort of physical harm, and survive the strangest and most dangerous encounters, without remembering any of it. Named after tardigrades, small animals that can survive in almost any conditions, even in the vacuum of space.
"Dude, what happened? You look like shit!" "Uhh I... lost a drinking contest? ... beer pong? there was a water bucket bong? I don't remember ... think I fell from the balcony into a bush and passed out.. and slept in there until the morning..." "What the fuck? That's some hardcore tardigrade amnesia!"

"So Marc woke up bare ass naked on the beach under an inflatable boat. He didn't know where any of his stuff was so he had to walk two hours to his mom's place wearing some tarp he found on the beach." "Dude it was freezing outside last night!" "Yeah talk about tardigrade amnesia"

Tardigrada Skasick 

Very much like that of a Tardigrada, but not really as cool...

Skasicks, or skittles as they are sometimes called are attracted to such animals as redheads and when a Skasick finds a redhead it likes it makes awkward stuttering noises and lame jokes.
To catch a skasick you must make a statement that can be answered with "That's What She Said" Then you can club it and skin it. Skasick skins don't really go for much more than half a penny.
Typical Tardigrada Skasick Redhead Mating Call:

"Hi Tegan" noted fluctuation in voice
"You sound pretty today."

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."

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.
You are cordially invited to the nuptials of Brian and Tom on October 31 at noon.

Please note that this wedding is child-free (under 10) and a No Surprises Wedding (NSW). Reach out to wedding planner Sami Smith to request approvals or exceptions; please note that exceptions will be rare. Limited child care for under-10s will be available. All approvals will be noted and included in planning. Unapproved, or surprise exceptions, will result in guests being asked to leave.
