Metadebate Hyperlogification

The even more arid cousin of metadebate hyperrationalization, where the conflict becomes exclusively about the formal logical structure of each other's sentences. The content is wholly abandoned as participants act as logic referees, issuing penalties for perceived formal infractions.
Example: A discussion about healthcare becomes: "Your statement was a conjunction, not a conditional, therefore your rebuttal is a non sequitur." "You've just committed the fallacy of accent by emphasizing that word." The metadebate hyperlogification kills the conversation, turning it into a grammarian's duel.

Metadebate Hyperrationalization

When a debate ceases to be about the original topic and becomes a self-referential argument about the rules of rational engagement themselves. It's a retreat into meta-discussion about burden of proof, logical fallacies, or epistemological frameworks, as a tactic to avoid substantive engagement on the (often uncomfortable) primary issue.
Example: When challenged on a political claim, a participant shifts the entire conversation to: "You're using a postmodernist epistemology, which is inherently irrational. We must first debate whether your framework for knowing is valid." This metadebate hyperrationalization is an escape hatch from the actual debate into an infinite regress about debating.

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.
