Acetone Peroxide 

An very sensitive yet powerful explosive. Common applications include a really cool-looking cloud of dust (yay!) and setting off even more powerful explosives. Referred to as AP.

Be careful using the acronym AP at school because it also stands for Advanced Placement which is something completely different :P

It's also dangerous to make if you're not being careful.
Guy 1: Why is there a hole in my basement?
Guy 2: I messing around with some AP...
Guy 1: Advanced Placement?
Guy 2: No, Acetone Peroxide. Why would a test blow a hole in your basement?

acetone wash 

An "Acetone Wash" is one method used by cocaine users to purify cocaine purchased on the streets. Each time the smuggled cocaine switches hands it is almost always cut or "stepped on" resulting in lower purity & even the possibility of dangerous cutting agents by the time it reaches the users. To achieve a purer cocaine base & eliminate these cutting agents many users "wash" the cocaine with 100% anhydrous acetone. Depending on the cut an acetone wash can also be used in conjunction with other purifying methods. After "washing", the cocaine base can be smoked or converted back to powdered cocaine HCI using muriatic acid. There are several "washing" methods outlined on the internet and some require highly flammable and explosive chemicals such as ether. Due to this risk many prefer acetone as a safer and as effective alternative.
By performing an acetone wash John eliminated many of the impurities in his cocaine.

Acetone is the organic compound with the formula OC(CH3)2. It is a colorless, mobile, flammable liquid and the simplest example of the ketones. Often used for its flammability by pyromaniacs and/or pyrotechnics. (But just because you use it doesn't mean you are one.)
Bystander: Are you buying acetone?
Pyrotechnic: I'm... using it as... paint remover?

Bystander: What are you doing with that acetone?
Exasperated bystander: Some idiot bought it as paint remover and almost burned the house down, I'm getting rid of it.

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."
