David Gerrold
a second rate writer based in the USA whose main claim to fame is writing the TV episode "The Trouble with Tribbles" for the popular STAR TREK television show. Recently he can be seen selling overpriced stuffed "tribbles" at various science fiction conventions he attends. They usually go for $20 each. He also has a website in which he asks readers to donate money for various personal requests (in the summer of 2006 it was to give his dog an operation the dog needed).
He has written some novels and short stories such as the adaptation of the planet of the apes movies into paperback format. I have met him and found him to be rude and arrogant to anyone who 1) also wants to be a writer 2) has anything good to say about Stephen King
(PS to Mr Gerrold: Stephen King is a DAMN good writer, instead of being so jealous of his literary genius realize that Mr. King worked his #$@#%$5 off to become that way. Why dont YOU do some of that instead of selling us those cheap overstuffed ear muffs you call tribbles at conventions?")

GerIta
A yaoi pairing in Hetalia fandom. Germany and North Italy.
It is heavily hinted (but not confirmed) that Germany is in fact North Italy's long-lost childhood love, Holy Roman Empire.
Also, Germany puts up with Italy, lets him sleep in Germany's bed with him NAKED, and lets him off the hook on a lot of stuff.
Yes, many fangirls (including myself) have a field day with just those few simple facts.

GerIta
A semi canonical pairing of the characters Ludwig Beilshmidt, who is the personification of Germany and also is a fine lookin’ baked potato, and Feliciano Vargas, who is the personified Northern Italy. Both characters are from the anime hetalia . It is one of the most popular pairings in the hetalia fan base, because as aforementioned, it is semi canonical. Ludwig frequently puts up with felicano’s antics, let’s feliciano sleep next to him NAKED, and they spend a good amount of time together.
In the comic Buon San Valentino, felicano kisses Ludwig and gives him red roses, which are a german declaration of love. In return, Ludwig asks felicano out on a date and proposes to him, only for our little Italian heart breaker to get confused. It it unknown what happened, as the storyline was left dangling.
On an unrelated note, it has been heavily hinted that Ludwig is actually the Holy Roman Empire, who was felicano’s first love.

Gerry's Moustache
A moustache of legendary power and definition, it was once believed to hide the eighth wonder of the world. One legend says that his mother actually gave birth to the moustache and that it grew Gerry.
I heard Chuck Norris shaved once... from the loose scraggles of unkempt hair that fell on ol' Chuck's floor grew a man. That man was Gerry's moustache.

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.
