Grayslake Middle School
The fucking worst place on planet earth. First you come to school and are greeted by a teacher that dosen’t give two shits about you because they are fucking out too get you. If you make it to lunch without fifty detentions and maybe a Panther Paw or two (their stupid fucking reward) you will get in a long ass hot lunch line. There you will wait about 2 1/2 hours so they can throw some shitty pizza on your plate, and a milk. Their milk tastes like it just came from their science lab cause the school is too poor to buy real milk. Then you go to sit down but every kid is a bully or a snitch. Finally you find a place to sit and you try to take a nibble out of their pizza and puke. Then lunch is over so you go to gym where you are expected to change in 2 second and wear heart rate monitors that leave red marks on your body because they are so fucking tight and painful. If you forget something in your locker and go back for it you get a detention. Finally you make it out and go threw the rest of your classes, and if you cry once at school you are showered by, “Are you okay?” And later might get sent to the social worker where the lights are so fucking dim you flick the social worker off and she can’t even see it. Finally after a long day you make it out of school alive and go on the dirty ass busses once again. When you get home you have an hour of homework but at least you are gone from Grayslake Middle School.

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.
