eschersexual
A word to describe any sex act or position which seems to defy understanding and physical limitations; something that seems to require you to bend in ways that simply don't exist.
"It was so eschersexual; she pulled her legs up behind her head... then flipped, so that her arms were in there too somehow, and I think my leg was in her mouth or something. I'd draw you a diagram, but I don't know how to even picture it."

Eschergirl
A term popularized by the tumblr blog of the same name, an Eschergirl refers to any figure (typically female and typically within comics) drawn in a "sexy" pose that defies sense both in anatomy as well as narrative. Harkening back to the dizzying designs of Escher, these girls are also impossible.
Basically every picture of Psylocke ever.
Let's see...can see both boobs and full butt, one leg seems to be coming out of her crotch and the other one doesn't seem to be attached, her boobs are coming out of her collar and look like they're about to fly away, AND she's wearing a bikini in the middle of a blizzard. Yup, Eschergirl.

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.
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.
