Pimps Up, Ho's Down
A pair of imperative commands to be issued during a school lockdown or other mandatory activity involving hiding on the floor. Intended to trap others in the dilemma of either standing up and risking their safety (as pimps would) or staying down and safe while unfortunately implying that they are hoes. More grammatical immediately after a ho has been brought down by tripping, choking, heart attack, drive-by shooting, etc. Also the title of a classic 1999 film chronicling eight American pimps' pimping.
1. School principal: (over PA system) "A suicidal man has been spotted outside school grounds. We ask that teachers initiate standard lockdown procedures."
Teacher: "Okay, I need some of you to sit on the floor along this wall, and--
Aaron: (springing out of school desk seat) "PIMPS UP, HOES DOWN!"
Other students: (to selves) Damn! I might as well find myself a street corner on 8 Mile!
(Aaron dons purple felt hat, crosses arms)
2. (A girl slips and falls on the wet hallway floor)
Aaron: (donning purple felt hat) "PIMPS UP, HO'S DOWN!"
Ho: (getting up) "Asshole."
3. Aaron: "PIMPS UP, HO'S DOWN!"
Ho: (still standing) "That movie's title is punctuated poorly."
Aaron: "GET DOWN HO wait wha-- . . . ?" (Uneasily fingers pimp hat)

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.
