Wow, that's a UFO! I've never seen a red one and it has shape of a grill.

Person 1: Whoa, is that just a silhouette or someone is making a joke?
Person 2: Someone is doing a paranormalia thing, then.

Paranormalism

The study of or belief in phenomena that appear to violate the laws of nature as currently understood—telepathy, psychokinesis, ghosts, precognition, and related experiences. Paranormalism doesn't necessarily posit a separate supernatural realm; it suggests that nature may be stranger than our current models allow, and that phenomena currently labeled "paranormal" may eventually be incorporated into an expanded science. It's the position that the boundaries of the natural are not yet fixed, and that experiences dismissed as impossible deserve investigation rather than dismissal.
"I had a dream about my grandmother the night she died, exactly as it happened. Science says that's coincidence. Paranormalism says: maybe science doesn't know everything yet. Maybe there are phenomena we haven't explained, not because they're fake, but because our models are incomplete. Keep investigating, don't just dismiss."

Hard Problem of Paranormality

Similar to supernaturality, but focused on the persistent, anecdotal reports of phenomena (ESP, psychokinesis, hauntings) that defy conventional explanation but consistently fail to manifest reliably under controlled conditions. The "hard problem" is the elusiveness: the phenomena appear tied to subjective states, belief, or ambiguous settings, evaporating under the harsh, skeptical light of a lab. This makes it impossible to determine if we're studying fragile real effects or the psychology of perception and error.
*Example: "The psychic was 80% accurate in cozy readings, but scored exactly chance in the double-blind lab test. The hard problem of paranormality: does the lab's sterile skepticism somehow 'turn off' the ability, or does the cozy setting simply create an illusion of accuracy through cold reading and confirmation bias? The effect is married to the ambiguity."*

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.
