edophile
An extremely obsessive/crazed fangirl of Edward Elric from Fullmetal Alchemist. 'Edo' is the Japanese pronounciation of 'Ed', therefore creating a clever pun on the word 'pedophile'. Symptoms of an Edophile include but are not limited to:
-Talking about Ed constantly
-Lack of sleep due to internet Ed picture splurges
-Having more than one Ed avatar or icon in use
-Incessant babble claiming of wanting to 'have his children'...
-Posts on fullmetal-alchemist.com
-Posts/takes Fullmetal Alchemist quizzes constantly
-Annoys friends and/or innocent passerbys/civlians by talking about Ed
To distract an Edophile, proceed to throw any Fullmetal Alchemist related figure/object a long distance. They will chase after it and never be seen again. Until they want more stuff.

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.

dead drop
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.

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.
