Dead Game 

A popular phrase among attention-seeking Twitter users found under any sort of tweet about a game that's been getting a lot of media coverage to indicate that the hype surrounding the said game has come to a standstill, so the game is no longer worth talking about.

This term may also refer to multiplayer games with a stagnant player base of less than a thousand people playing the game at inconsistent intervals.
Popular singleplayer game releases to lots of fanfare, copies are sold in the millions. The player base drops after a week because people are finishing the game and moving onto other things. The developers still update the game, but under every update is somebody who writes 'Dead Game' in the hope of getting attention or the hopeless pursuit of getting the game off of their feeds.

If you do this, please quit. It's okay to have a discourse about games and their marketing, but when your discourse ends with two words, I don't believe you have anything interesting to say.

a pit bull that will fight to the death and still want more!
gr ch mayday (off Tant's gr ch yellow rom)

a time for work, a time for play
this time it's war, you're time's up today
in a land of killers, i just may be the worst
and this time we'll see whose last days will be first.
i'm the fighter less loved, i take the road less traveled
but who needs a judge, i drop my own gavel
i may be the villain, i may become hated
but in my mind i find your life is outdated
your time has come but i alone decide how
there's a time to get grimey and the time is now!

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.

Person A: "That scene was a direct homage to an unreleased 1982 Japanese indie film."
Person B: "Wow, EBK."
