plead the 6th
This is a concept I invented similar to pleading the 5th in a court of law where, if you find yourself in a situation, inebriated, whether high, drunk or otherwise and completely at a loss for what your expected to say or do next You can declare: "I plead the 6th" and you are magically off the hook, as this simultaneously informs others that you have blanked out and have no idea what you were just talking about 2 seconds ago, while also relieving you of any responsibility for whatever word or deed would have come next if you had not forgotten in the first place. So, similar to how the witness in court gets to avoid answering a question by pleading the 5th, the stoned/ drunk/twacked out goofball who forgets what they are talking about midsentence during an important conversation or epic explanation is freed of the weight carried by that awkward moment that exists in the seconds that follow the total forgetting of some vital fact.
".... so that is why I absolutely MUST...... must, uh.... we must... uhhh...."
"I plead the 6th".
" And by the way.... what the hell was I just talking about?"
"I plead the 6th".
" And by the way.... what the hell was I just talking about?"

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.
