Useless Fucking Knowledge 

Information that is absolutely fucking useless to anyone unless they want to pursue a career that is extremely fucking important to remember otherwise your career and life is over as we know it.

Useless Fucking Knowledge accounts for many people who are Google Fucktards who present their arguments constructed on useless fucking knowledge.

Some of the following fall under the category of Useless Fucking Knowledge:

-Knowing how to operate a graphing calculator since not many jobs require you to operate a graphing calculator but to solve problems involving math (i.e - how many barrels are there)

-Remembering the periodic table, unless you are going to be a chemist, then you have a legitimate excuse

-Knowing how to get out of a stray jacket if you are being towed by a boat (And if James Bond is driving that boat, you're fucked otherwise)

...and much, much more. You could probably think of things that fall under the Useless Fucking Knowledge chart
Teacher: Okay children this is how you use a graphing calculator.

Student: *stands up* "Does anyone else think this is Useless Fucking Knowledge or is it just me?"

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.
