Flotsam is a term used by year-round residents of Cape Cod MA to describe people who come up to the Cape only for the summer. It is said that on the Cape that "For every piece of real flotsam here we have 100 summer flotsams to equal that." It's a typical Natives vs. Anything-but-Natives arguement.

flotsam and jetsam 

One of the most underrated Metal bands. Has been around since 1986, and Jason Newstead was their original bassist, which you all may know to have joined Metallica.
Flotsam and Jetsam are fucking awesome. "No Place For Disgrace" is their best album, and an important Thrash Metal album. If you don't like it, you simply don't like real Metal.

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.
