apperception 

Perceiving that you are perceiving --in other words, the mind is conscious of its consciousness, like the mind being self conscious-- a state of real cool detachment
As the dramatic scene of the tragedy unfolded in front of my eyes, I was in a state of apperception -- on one hand, living through the raw emotions,and on the other hand, perceiving from afar the sheer scale and consequences of what was happening to me and those around me

alterception 

Alterception is where we unconsciously perceive things and like/dislike them because of what they stand for and in turn affects our perception of things in many different ways.
For example, let’s say Mai liked Britney Spears. And Britney released a new song, in Mai’s eyes the song is perceived to be ‘awesome’ merely based on the fact that it’s sung by Britney Spears. Even if the song is actually quite terrible her Alterception would result in Mai liking the song regardless of its quality.
Another example of Alterception is the state of being in so called ‘love’. Michelle has a crush on Peter; in Michelle’s eyes Peter looks so cute in his uniform. Even though everyone in the same school as Peter wears the same uniform it appeals to Michelle more due to the fact that Peter is wearing it. Therefore supporting the claim of liking/disliking things based on its value (what it stands for) in Alterception. Michelle’s crush for Peter also results in her altered perception of his actions. Peter’s ‘quirks’ would become more evident to Michelle and her liking for them increases. “When Peter says goodnight it’s so sweet!’ unbeknownst to Michelle that Peter says goodnight the same way most people do.
Everyday examples can be seen such as advertisements. Companies tend to use well known models to advertise their products. These models are well perceived in people’s eyes and in turn draw a wider audience. Let’s say you see a Nike advertisement for a new pair of shoes which David Beckham is promoting. Because David Beckham is renowned for his skill, people would believe that wearing the same shoes as David Beckham would result in their skill actually improving.

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."
