firebone
The word ‘firebone’ is sometimes used to describe the energy, focus and motivation people conjure up in themselves, in their minds, to perform amazing feats of strength, daring, skill or endurance. Much like having a burning desire or force within their bodies or bones that push them to excel. People that can summon this kind of inner strength and purpose are thought to have fire in their bones. Many professional athletes, daredevils, adventurers, extreme sports participants often exude firebone characteristics. Surfers, skateboarders, motorcyclists, motor racing drivers, BMX riders, MTB riders, Parkour, Paragliders, Kite surfers all exude firebone personalities. Firebone strengths can also been seen in emergency workers, soldiers and those that perform at the highest levels in their chosen sport or profession.

Fredo Scenario
When something goes horribly wrong for an individual amongst his family or group of friends – typically following an act of betrayal or unforgiveable poor judgment – and that person becomes an outcast. Although unloved and unwanted, the person is still allowed to hang around because of his previous relationship to those wronged. Adapted from the Fredo character in the Godfather movies.
Unfortunately, history has proven there is no way to tactfully make the outcast depart. Fredo Corleone was shot in the back while fishing in The Godfather Part II, a particularly cruel yet fair conclusion to any Fredo Scenario.

Will: "I wish we had a fishing boat."

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.
