HSOWA - Short for the phrase 'Hot Skitty on Wailord Action'. This phrase originated from a topic on the GameFAQS Pokemon Ruby/Sapphire boards when a user noticed that Skitty, a tiny kitten only six inches tall, could mate with Wailord, a HUGE whale, 47 feet tall. Then the user, Endgame, ended up saying 'HOT SKITTY ON WAILORD ACTION!'

And it started from there. It's been shortened to HSOWA ever since.
"Bow down to the HSOWA god Endgame!"

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."
