Ohio Wesleyan 

A small liberal arts school known as OWU (Oh-Woo). Kids who get in have the impression that they can sail through, but the work is demanding and a lot of freshmen flunk out. The frat scene is very busy because there is nothing else to do in Delaware, Ohio. The students are smart and kind of preppy. It's a place where you can get an excellent education even though a lot of people haven't heard of it.
"Ohio Wesleyan? Isn't that near Des Moines?"

"Um, no. It's in Ohio, not Iowa you stupid East Coaster."

Wesleyan 

Wesleyan is the short name for Ohio Wesleyan University. It is a small, but renown liberal arts college in Delaware, Ohio with a student population of 1900. It was founded by Adam Poe, a financially successful banker in Central Ohio. Originally a men's college and member of the Ohio Five, Wesleyan became co-ed in 1878 when it merged with the Ohio Wesleyan Female College. The college retains an even division of female-male students. It has a large gay population, and, just like other liberal arts schools, is known for popular recreational marijuana use.
"You go to Ohio Wesleyan?"
"Yep."
"Is it really full of gays, stoners, and busted hos?"
"Yep."

Illinois Wesleyan University

Illinois Wesleyan University, or IWU (pronounced eye-woo), is a small liberal arts university in Bloomington, Illinois that consists of about 2500 students.
IWU is in close proximity to Illinois State University, so often there is a sense of rivalry between students at each institution. The high cost of attending IWU makes some students at ISU believe that everyone at IWU is obscenely rich. However, contrary to this popular belief nobody at IWU pays for college in cash and almost all students at IWU get some kind of scholarship/financial aid package that makes the cost much more managable.
Joe: I'm at ISU, where are you going?
Scottie: I go to Illinois Wesleyan University.
Joe: Oh you must be really rich!
Scottie: And you must be an STD-infected chain-smoker.

Ohio Wesleyan 

A small, private liberal arts college in central Ohio. Lots of preppies go there as well as a lot of smart kids who couldn't get merit or financial aid from Oberlin. Good Division III sports and an active Greek scene. A much better school than its national reputation.

Wesleyan Christian Academy 

A private high school in High Point filled with fagbag soccer players and dumb rednecks that only talk about trucks and vape. The female teachers are idiots and the male teachers are pedophiles. Wesleyan has three soccer colleges including Messiah College, Indiana Wesleyan and Southern Wesleyan. Beware if you aren’t white because the school has KKK meetings every Thursday. If you do not play a sport there is a high chance that you will forget to be your own person and go to Appalachian State. Wesleyan is a great place to buy xanex or weed if you are in need of that.
“I went to high school at Wesleyan Christian Academy.”

“Oh that explains why you’re at App State!”

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.
