cardestrian 

A cardestrian (car-destrian) is a small European car that is driven alongside pedestrians in crowded urban European streets. The car is so small, so quiet and so maneuverable that it generally integrates into pedestrian activity effortlessly. Often, cardestrians and pedestrians commute side-by-side surprisingly effectively.

cardestrian 

a car traveling the speed limit in a racing game. at a relative speed of -120 mph, these are more out of place in a videogame highway than a drunk pedestrian asleep in a real life crosswalk

Cardestrian 

Another species on our roads other than cyclists that are under the illusion that it is ok to take up a whole lane going at 25km/h or slower. These are called "Cardestrians". They are basically a pedestrian in theory who believe they are a vehicle. These poor creatures believe they are entitled to take up a whole lane of a road, street, car park or drive through without a care in the world. Unfortunately, the $500 excess for their insurance won't cover death in a hospital as they will be dead from the vehicle impact from a Car, truck or Semi. Unless the "Cardestrian" weighs in excess of 500 kilos and can travel up to 110km/h, they are urged to stay to the paths they were given by the state government and local councils. Their wish, in due course, is to become a fully fledged Toyota Hylux.
"Is that an over-obsessed Pokemon player with a distinct lack of direction and care?? No, they are too old, must be another delusional Cardestrian."

"Oh look, that Cardestrian is breaking the 100km/h freeway speed limit!! And here is that bacon shower that was forecasted by the Beaurau of meteorology."

Chedestrians 

Derived from the popular term for Mexican cowboys, "rancheros", or "cheds" for short, chedestrians are much like any other pedestrian you might encounter out on the street. Apart from their overall Mexican-ness in physical appearance, chedestrians can be easily identified by their Mexo-cowboy hats, pointy cockroach stomper boots, flamboyant button-up shirts and gold necklaces with large pendants of either a scorpion, Jesus on the cross, la Virgen de Guadalupe or a Nike swoosh. Although most cheds prefer to travel inside of either a Ford Mustang or F-150, occasionally you will encounter one (or a few if you're lucky) traveling by foot.
Dude, I was driving down Federal Blvd. the other day and nearly hit 3 chedestrians with my car! They came out of nowhere, holding their corn on cob in one hand and grocery bag in the other!!

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.
