Fauxcasting is the practice (some would say the art) of creating a revenue or sales forecast to meet some predefined number, rather than actually building it up from assumptions on the market or marketing plan. A fauxcast differs from a forecast in that it attempts to create the future rather than predict it.

fauxcasm 

Pronounced FO-casm

When someone says something completely retarded and/or stupid and then tries to pass off the statement as being sarcastic, only making them seem even more stupid. Can also be used to mask ignorance/faggotry.

It can be hard to distinguish from actual sarcasm, a good way to tell is if the statement was even remotely funny to begin with, or just plain insensetive.
A: I think 'twin days' at school are just stupid. I think the administration just wants to promote conformity and have everyone be the same.
B: Well, I always I thought it was just a way to spice up school life for a day. It's better than nothing.
A: Yeah, I was, uh.. I was being sarcastic.
B: That there is some pretty straight-up fauxcasm.

C: You did pretty terrible on that Science test, bro. 45%, are you retarded? I mean seriously. How could you have possible failed when the class average was 90%. Dumb shit.
D: Fuck you, my grandma died last night after a week in the hospital with brain cancer, I didn't have enough time to study. What with visiting her in her last few days and all. She didn't even recognize me! *cries*

D: Fuck you and your fauxcasm.

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.
