Les Enfants Terribles

A French term translated in English as "The Terrible Children" that depicts a fictional genetic experiment which originates from the popular Sony Playstation game "Metal Gear Solid."

The experiment consisted of using genetic alteration and cloning from the cells of a late soldier known as Big Boss, whose genes were identified as the "ultimate soldiering genes." The project brought forth the creation of the game's protagonist, Solid Snake, as well as two antagonists, Liquid and Solidus Snake by injecting Big Boss' sperm cells into a surrogate mother and producing non-identical octuplets, all eight clones receiving different pedigrees. In addition to these figures, the experiment also brought forth the Genome Army many years later, who were regular soldiers injected with Big Boss' soldiering genes in order to alter their own to become more efficient. The Genome Army would later be dubbed as a failed experiment, as it was later discovered that all Genome Soldiers were slowly dying due to gene instability from the alteration of their own genes.

The term was dubbed as "The Terrible Children" due to both the social immorality in which it represented and the extremely high mortality rate in which the clones faced. 60% of the clones faced death with Solid, Solidus and Liquid Snake being the sole survivors of an original octuplet series, with five others intentionally aborted in order to enhance the growth of the remaining three fetuses.
While playing Metal Gear Solid I was completely baffled by the explanation of "Les Enfants Terribles."

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.

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.
