Thought Cancer™ 

The adverse effects one endures mentally from over-thinking things; usually secrets, inside information, or just the side effects of an over-active imagination.
You wanna know what Thought Cancer™ is?

You're cool with a guy. He settles down with a 'used-to-be' 'round-the-way' girl. They're all lovey dovey and stuff... You have a porno or two of her. You and him are supposed to be good, you and her talk. You start wondering:

Do I tell him?
But suppose he already knows?
But suppose he doesn't know?
Then she's gonna get upset with ME?
But I never told her to film her sexual exploits?
But it's none of my business anyways?
But they look so happy and I'm not the only one with the tape?
He might be upset that I know about it and didn't tell him?
Why did I have to see the damn tape?
Why do they have to be all over the place all lovey dovey?

Before you know it, you're failing exams, losing weight, can't fuck properly, drinking, chain-smoking... all the while the thought cancer is eating away at your psyche.

cancertainment 

All the screwball politics, bureaucratic bullshit, evil healthcare/HMOs, co-pays, premiums, corporations, the impossible labyrinths they send you through. This also includes the dinner time conversations with family, daily chit chat with friends as well as all the chemo therapy, drug treatments, MRIs, and the rest of the long list of things you have to go through when you have cancer. Almost totally non existent with socialized medicine.
I just love the cancertainment of getting old. All the trips to the hospital, medical bills, co pays and grieving. So much for the golden years. Sometimes I wish I move to Canada.

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.

Person B: "Wow, EBK."
