An abridged series is an animation--typically a movie, tv show, or video game-- that is edited to be a shorter and fandubbed, usually for reasons of comedic parody. They are then usually posted on video websites, such as Youtube. The first and perhaps most popular example is the Yugioh: The Abridged Series which was created by LittleKurioh. Abridged series are sometimes created from collaborations, such as TeamFourStars which is doing an abridged series of DragonBallZ.
"Yugioh The Abridged Series is hillarious. It has terrific voice acting, writing, and editing."
"Adamwestlapdog made a funny abridged series on Zelda."
"NeighborhoodClucky's abridged movies awesome."
A youtube series parodying original TV series (usually anime) by taking clips from the show and dubbing them to make fun of the characters, plot, and over all the entire show.
"Dude! Avatar: The Abridged Series is so hilarious!"
"Yeah! I love how they made Zuko whiny, Jet paranoid, and Haru gay!"
The most hilarious show, ever. They parody DBZ, along with everything else imaginable. Made by Team Four Star, they have, hands down, made pure, solid gold here.

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.

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."
