Irreversible 

Controversial French flick released in 2002, directed by Gaspar Noe. Won the "Bronze Horse" award at the Stockholm Film Festival and was nominated for the Palme d'Or at Cannes. Also one of the most difficult movies to watch, due to a 9-minute rape scene and a guy getting his face caved in with a fire-extinguisher to some really creepy-ass music.
More than 200 people walked out of Irreversible at Cannes, mostly due to its lengthy rape scene.

irreversible consequence 

A consequence that cannot be reversed.
Some consequences are evitable, such as preventing or reducing the extent of an injury by wearing a seat-belt, or preventing a pregnancy by using a condom.

However, other consequences are inevitable, such as being disliked after saying something offensive.

And an irreversible consequence is one no one can go back in time and prevent from taking place because the action which produced it was executed.

The only way to prevent any type of consequence is by not executing an action (known to produce certain types of consequences).

Nonetheless, not doing anything might also generate some type of foreseeable or unforeseeable consequence.

Irreversible 

Something of which, once it has occured, cannot be changed nor undone.
Person 1: I just burnt my old diary!
Person 2: Are you sure you did the right thing? It's irreversible, you know...

[Irrevocable Life Insurance Trust] , [ILIT]

Used primarily for estate creation, estate preservation, and estate conservation. Basically, a irrevocable trust is drafted (meaning drafted, designed, and created by a licensed JD professional aka a lawyer and/or attorney) to hold a LARGE life insurance policy on the insured (usually a parent(s), or the spouses parent(s), and upon materialization of the death certificate, the ILIT receives the death benefit insurance proceeds tax free!!! Yes, that's right, tax free! Most the time insurance proceeds are tax free, but there's the exemption limit, so even if the death benefit is WELL OVER the current exemption limit, the entire thing is passed tax free to the trust. The trust itself then has beneficiaries who receive the proceeds in accordance with the trusts design and instructions.
Irrevocable Life Insurance Trust , ILIT --- Basically, a child (grown up in this example) decides he'd/she'd like to after college, get a good job, and use his/her income (or some of it) to purchase a LARGE life insurance policy on his/her parents, and place it in a Irrevocable Life Insurance Trust, ILIT. Then upon materialization of the death certificate, the child is then passed tax free TONS of dinero! Then the child can take it easy, retire, and live off of e.g investments of any kind, perhaps treasury inflation protected securities.

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.
