Antagonist 

An antagonist is a character(s), institute, or concept that is used as a force of opposition towards the protagonist. Often, in most cases, the antagonist is a bad guy, a villain, however that isn't always the case. In some cases, the antagonist could very well be a good person, a hero.
Person 1: Those cops in those movies where they try to stop criminals are good antagonists.
Person 2: But they are good people. How are they antagonists?
Person 1: Antagonists aren't necessarily bad people. They just oppose the protagonists, in which some cases the protagonists is the evil one. Like Death note. Light Yagami may be the protagonist, but you know he's the evil one and L, the guy trying to stop him, despite him being the good guy, is the antagonist of the story.

Protagonist Complex

Believing you and your life are either literally or metaphorically the center of a metaphysical narrative in which you are the protagonist and that your life obstacles or people you disagree with or dislike are forces of evil. Most often seen in people who have consumed large amounts of entertainment such as books, movies, or video games which have a concrete "good or bad" for most of their lives.
"My sister in law keeps referencing Harry Potter online when politics are brought up. I think she may have a protagonist complex."

"Quit being so self righteous. You sound like you have a protagonist complex."

Antagonistic Marketing 

Antagonistic Marketing is a strategy used by media companies like Disney. Basically you come in throwing stones hoping to stir up controversy. You deliberately want some people to be offended. You sacrifice a smaller market in hopes of capturing a larger one. You also hope that by making people angry you will bait them into constantly talking about your movie/TV show/video game, giving you free publicity and helping grow exposure for your product. This is all rooted in the false idea that any press is good press.
Alex: Did you see the trailer for that new Netflix show?
Bob: Yeah, it's all people talk about.

Alex: It's just trying to force controversy, like all Antagonistic Marketing schemes.

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.
