Imagine The Nerves 

"Imagine the nerves" is a quote from the Twitch streamer and YouTuber Acai. It is his most famous quote, and was created when Acai had difficulty FC-ing Soulless 4. This also affiliated Machinations A, Breaker Solo and Stepping Solo A and B as Clone Hero memes; often changing a song gradually into these sections. These songs would trick Acai into playing them, and the joke repeats. As of now, the quote is dead as Acai recently FC'd Soulless 4.
Acai: And then, right after that orange wall, right after the section I just played; you have this to worry about.
*Plays Machinations A*
Acai: And then it comes again.
*He is still playing Machinations A*
Acai: So, Imagine The Nerves, Imagine The Nerves; FC-ing past that. Okay. Machinations A. This is one-this is the first part uhhhm. That is most unlikely in an FC past Fatalism. I really do not see anyone ever FC-ing past Machinations A. Oh, but what if, what if somebody does? We can theorize that all we want. This little solo called Stepping Solo. Now, check this out.
*Plays Stepping Solo A and B to Breaker Solo*
Acai: Check out that transition. Look at this. Review! Review! We talked about Machinations A. Imagine FC-ing past that, and then having to wait getting to here.
*Plays Stepping Solo B*
Acai: ...Past Machinations.
*Plays Breaker Solo*
Acai: ...And having to deal with that too, y' know? Stepping Solo B, y' know, to Breaker Solo. That's uhhh not very possible to FC- up to, even. No-one will FC up to Stepping Solo B. The day they do, I'll give 'em- I'll give them 100 bucks. Straight up.

imagine complexly 

A term coined by John Green in his novel Paper Towns, and thus embraced by nerdfighters everywhere as a truly magical gesture of the miracle of human consciousness.

Imagining someone complexly is imagining them in the terms you might imagine yourself. Things you think about your person, such as dreams, histories, heartbreaks, epic loves, and deepest secrets, are also things you ponder about people you are imagining complexly.
As Leo watched people at the bus stop on a foggy London morning, he imagined the pixie-ish girl of about his age complexly, and suddenly felt he understood the wanderlust behind her sullen, deep set eyes.

Had he not imagined her complexly, his thought process could have probably been something a bit more like "She's probably tired. Kind of pretty, though..." and he would have moved on to the next commuter.

Always imagine complexly.

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.
