friend zone syndrome 

An affliction where a patient uses "friend zone" unironically.
The patient sees friendships with people of sexual appeal as a failure.

In fact, this is actually a symptom of a number of other hidden problems (failure to meet new people regularly, failure to negotiate sexuality in an upfront way, failure to enjoy the sorts of people one is interested in sleeping with, and so on)
A: "Someone I know isn't giving me sex. I mean, I haven't been upfront, because I fear even polite rejection... But the only thing I want from them is sex, and they're the only person I am going to meet this year. Please, help me get out of the friend zone!"

B: "That's your problem: you've got friend zone syndrome."

False Friend Zone Syndrome (FFZS)

A growing epidemic that causes males to believe they have been "friend zoned" by girls they are acquainted with, yet they have never approached the girl in a manner of creating a sexual or emotional relationship. The disease stems from a lack of confidence in oneself, thus causing one to create the social construct of "friend zoning" to cope with their feeling of inferiority and lack of ability to ask a girl how she truly feels.
Infected: "Dude I totally got friend zoned the other day. It sucks so hard. Ughh forever alone."
Friend: "Sorry to hear she rejected you..."
Infected: "She didn't I just know she doesn't want me."
Friend: "Oh god...get away! What are you?!"
Epidemiologist: "Yes a perfect example of False Friend Zone Syndrome (FFZS)."

Friends Zone Syndrome 

Affliction of a persons ability to form relationships with members of the opposite sex. Usually involves a person being perpetually placed in the friend zone due to his or her lack of appropriate game or ability to communicate his intentions with a female or male.

Friendzone Asshole Syndrome 

A very serious condition that can alter the mood of someone who is single and a virgin, typically causing them to ditch their friend group for a girl that does not want them. Someone diagnosed with this syndrome is typically an asshole to their friend group of guys, because there's a lot of misplaced anger.

Symptoms include, but are not limited to:

—ignoring friends
—creating awkward silences
—getting pissed over minuscule problems
—not wanting to be around anyone else, except the girl they like
—the girl they like is NOT interested in them, therefore they feel bad. See friendzone.
—this becomes a cycle where the diagnosed take out their emotions on their friend group even though the friend group is totally innocent
—clearly violating the concept of Bros before hoes

There has been no developed cure, however symptoms seem to be alleviated when the guy and the girl become distant, since the relationship becomes nothing and the guy comes to terms with it.
Stay away from Landon, boys. He's developing some serious symptoms of Friendzone Asshole Syndrome.

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.
