Koreanize 

Koreanize (v)- To play mind games with a member of the opposite sex whom the subject likes in a manner similar to a typical Korean drama. The act of Koreanizing is usually performed as a method of making the victim chase/pursue the subject. However, these mixed signals usually result in confusion and broken hearts over a period of time.

The majority of Koreanizers are Korean women, however both men and non-Koreans are capable of Koreanizing.

Koreanization (n)- The act of Koreanizing someone.
Koreanizer (n)- A person who is especially good at Koreanizing.
Example 1:
Suppose these two people are flirting and the Korean girl says
Girl: Dan I really like you! You better add me on facebook!
Guy: I don't know how to spell your name so you should add me on facebook!
Girl: *turns around and walks away*
Guy: Man I just got Koreanized.

Example 2:
Suppose a guy and a Korean girl hit it off at a party. They make out, hold hands etc. She is sitting on the guys lap and the guy says
Guy: Hey, I have to leave now, give me your number and I'll call you sometime.
Girl: No! I'm not giving you my number!
Guy: Really? Just give me your number.
Girl: Nope!
Guy: Okay... well I'm going now so I guess I won't call you then.
Girl: Okay bye.
Guy: Uhh can you get off my lap now?... Fucking Koreanizing women...

*The examples above are genuine examples of Koreanization performed by real Korean women on me*

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.

Person B: "Wow, EBK."
