Must've been the wind
phrase
The default, automatic response given by someone experiencing auditory hallucinations (often associated with schizophrenia or other psychotic disorders) when they hear a voice, sound, or noise that isn't there, and they need to quickly dismiss it to a concerned person nearby.
It's the verbal equivalent of hitting "dismiss" on a pop-up ad in your brain. The person saying it knows, on some level, that the source is internal, but saying this phrase is a coping mechanism to maintain a facade of normalcy and avoid further questions.
A phrase used to sarcastically or darkly describe the moment you realize you're having a symptom, but you're trying to play it cool so no one freaks out.
More broadly, any dismissive explanation for something clearly paranormal, supernatural, or just plain weird.

Friend: "Hey, are you okay? You just flinched and looked at the empty corner."
Person: "Huh? Oh, yeah, must've been the wind. Thought I heard something."
"The shadow-people were whispering my name again, but my roommate was looking at me, so I just shrugged and said, 'Must've been the wind.' Gotta keep up appearances."
"Did that painting just blink?" "Nah, must've been the wind."

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.
