zips in the wire
A quote from "Platoon", but used in general conversation in "the Nam". It's based on a racest term "zipper-head", a name the US soldiers gave the Northern Vietnamese and militia (Vietcong) combatants to de-humanize their targets. It was quicker to refer to them as Zips, Cong, or V.C., and also served to make them "less human" in the eyes of the invading forces. Today, most people have forgotten about particulars of the Vietnam war, and often use the phrase as meaning there are enemies close at hand, or you are surrounded by very serious problems.
"We got zips in the wire",.... it's a lovely fucking war.
I heard he's getting fired for all the crap he said.....he got zips in the wire. Dude, now your getting fired.

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.
