I don't think you knew you were doing it

So you took that as an accusation of wrongdoing but YOU WEREN'T ALONE in doing it and now you are trying to make it a thing like this was because I "accused you falsely of doing something"

Hym "I don't think you knew you were doing it but SOME OF THE PEOPLE WHO WERE ALSO DOING IT... KNEW they were doing it. And it WAS A THING THAT WAS HAPPENING and IS. And is a problem. For you to assert that we have to care about saying nigger and faggot more than this. No. You didn't know it was a thing. I discovered that it was a thing. You felt attacked because you though I was accusing you but you didn't know anything at the time but by the time you found out about it. You just didn't get it. At any point. You didn't understand what was happening. You didn't want to play ball because I was being offensive and derogatory. And the people I said would suffer (through no fault of my own) for it did in fact have to do so. Even though THEY HAD NOT HAD TO DO THAT INITIALLY. You thought it was something it wasn't. I was flippant about what it was but at a certain point you had to have picked up on some general themes that emerged and you had to have known you didn't know what was going on and at some point you'd have to talk to the actual guy
But you didn't want to do that because you thought I was playing a game or something because I use a 50's announcer rhetorical flourish. 'Don't give him the attention that he wants. Oh! Shit! The kids!' And it wasn't even a set up! IT WASN'T EVEN A SET UP AND YOU THOUGHT IT WAS A SET UP! To TELL THEM THAT... 'don't give hym the attention that he wants. Oh no! Muh kids 😾 now I guess I'll do 'the opposite! Cus he said that one time.' Because you though it was a set up... And then for it to go disastrously wrong and then for you to BLAME ME FOR THAT... And make my life hell as a result of it. I don't think you knew you were doing it. I think you didn't believe me. And were dismissive about it and I was right and it does matter that I was right."

.....Ready now, my baby coming through we getting faded oh i thought you knew Steady now, don't you fall of the edge Everybody lit the party will never end.....

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.

EBK stands for "Elite Ball Knowledge." 1 In internet slang, "ball knowledge" originally referred to a deep understanding of football/soccer or basketball, but it has evolved into a broader term for having a highly sophisticated, deep, or niche understanding of any specific topic (such as music, movies, or subcultures).
Person A: "That scene was a direct homage to an unreleased 1982 Japanese indie film."
Person B: "Wow, EBK."
