PS2 Expansion Bay Hiding Spot 

On a PS2 (the fat model) there is an empty slot in the back meant to put in a hard drive and network adapter, this empty spot can be accessed by taking off the network adapter or cover on the back. This is a great place to hide stuff like your weed, cigarettes/cigars, cans of snuff, small flasks, money and electronic devices etc. It's a great hiding spot because nobody will think to look for anything strange in there(just make sure to close up the back after) and no one will suspect a thing!
Person 1:"I need to hide this herb somewhere for a bit!"
Person 2:"Put it in my PS2"
Person 1:"How the fuck would i do that?"
Person 2: -opens the back- "See?'
Person 1:"ABSOLUTELY PERFECT!!!"
Person 2:"Yeah the good ol' PS2 expansion bay hiding spot trick!"

i can explain 

a statement used when a situation becomes either undeniably irreversible or utterly impossible to explain due to temporary unfavorable circumstances. Often preceded by the "it's not what it looks like" statement. In other words: you're busted and you can't come up with a good excuse without getting beat up or yelled at.
A girl comes to a guy's house for a visit. They enjoy a good conversation. They turn on the tv. The air conditioner doesn't work so they take off a few items of clothing. They have a friendly fight over the remote and start wrestling on the ground. The guy's overzealous girlfriend walks in to see them holding eachother, nearly half naked on the carpet. The guy is shocked and says "Wait, it's not what it looks like...I can explain."

I'll Explain Later 

Everytime a plothole is found in the script of the long-running series Dr. Who, the Doctors line reads 'I'll explain later'. Not by a lack of inmagination, but of time conflicts/paradoxes in the Dr. Who universe.

This line is hugely made fun of in the 'Comic relief' parody starring Rowan Atkinson and Hugh Grant.
Doctor: Let's go...
Rose: How come the Daleks are still alive?
Doctor: hazitates I'll explain later...

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.

EBK stands for "Elite Ball Knowledge." 1 In internet slang, "ball knowledge" originally referred to a deep understanding of football/soccer or basketball, but it has evolved into a broader term for having a highly sophisticated, deep, or niche understanding of any specific topic (such as music, movies, or subcultures).
Person A: "That scene was a direct homage to an unreleased 1982 Japanese indie film."
Person B: "Wow, EBK."
