"Nows" originated when I, Tollie had a sinus ache once. It was so excruciating, when I tried to type "ow, my nose!" it came out as "Oh, my nows!"

Then as I was talking to my friend Kylie, she began saying "oh noes." Since "noes" is totes not as cool as "nows" I said, "OH NOWS!!" and I have been saying it ever since.
Tootles: The world just blew up!!
Tollie: Oh nows!!!

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."
