The Greater Good 

The pathetic reason the heroes give as to why they kill people.
"You killed my brother!"
"It was for the Greater Good."
"I was mistaken, you're completely innocent. Kill me for the Greater Good."

The Greater Good 

It's like God for atheists.
Hym "There is no greater good. If the greater good only benefited 1 person you would take the lesser good if given the choice. You have no genuine desire or capacity to calculate the greater good and if you did and the calculation lead to an outcome you didn't like you would just do whatever made you feel better about YOURSELF. And THAT is what the greater good is all about. People feeling better about themselves. You can fail and steal and lie as much as you want because the greater good means you need an exemption so that you can be the decider. That is YOU wanting to be the creature. Still just another zealot. And even if you WERE... I would still tell you to slob on a hairy kittle baby dick."

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.
