Human Branding

A term used for degrading a victim in torture. This can be done by forced nudity and humiliation. Human Branding is a more exciting way unless you're used to burning people, that is.

Human Branding is quite self-explanatory. You grab an iron brand, heat it up, and stick it on the person wherever you please. Rapists and Paedophiles should have it placed on both testicles and face. That's after carefully slicing the tip of the penis "to put such predators out of use before being released onto our streets" and to assist the prey identify the predator.

Think of it like giving an extremely painful tattoo to them. It does cause a good amount of pain, after all nobody likes having burning hot metal pressed onto their skin, or in the Rapist and Paedophiles eyes "Ball-sacks".

Because of how livestock are branded, human branding can be seen as a way of showing the victim's reduction in the status of their life. It's almost as if they are property now.

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.
