Lurky Herpe
This is a Herpe on a person's mouth that won't go a way. This "sore" subject always seems to lead back to just a "cold sore", but after about 2 weeks, this holy mole of VD's and a coworkers denial, has you slipping your prescription of Valtrex in their coffee every morning.
I swear, if the Deli Manger doesn't get rid of that Lurky Herpe on her lip, I'm going to put in for a transfer to produce...

Luray
To locals- (loo-ray)
To others- (luh-ray)
A small town in Northwestern Virginia, duly noted for Luray Caverns, which has probably employed everyone currently living in Luray at some point in time. Another attraction would be the local Walmart, which, if demolished, would most likely lead to the mass starvation of the county's populace. Other sites include a McDonald's, an excessive number of antique shops, and a tower that is in the shape of a penis. Otherwise, Luray is just another small country town located within the Shenandoah Valley.

Lurgy
Approximate British equivalent of the American playground term cooties, meaning a fictitious, yet highly infectious disease. Unlike cooties, now used by adults to refer to an general undefined infectious malady.
Normally used in the form "the dreaded lurgy".
The term originates from an episode of the 1950s radio comedy "The Goon Show" in which an epidemic of "The Dreaded Lurgi" was said to be about to sweep across Britain. It turned out that the lurgi was in fact a ficitious disease created by brass instrument makers who had claimed that no brass band player had ever died of the lurgi (thereby increasing sales hugely).
"The Goon Show" was an anarchic and surreal radio comedy series that starred Peter Sellers, Spike Milligan and Harry Secombe. It was written by Spike Milligan and Eric Sykes.

He's not coming into work today, apparently he's coming down with a lurgy.

Urgh. You've got the LURGY!

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.

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.
