plotonium 

Element

Atomic weight: Variable

Properties: entirely dependent on the story requirements of whichever science illiterate hack has been commissioned to write this week's episode of your favourite science fiction show.

Related to Unobtanium. The principle difference being that Unobtanium is usually the maguffin that drives the plot whilst Plotonium resolves the corner the writer wrote themselves into.
Dilithium is the magical material that drives warp drives in Star Trek and, despite the series having strong science advisors on hand, writers still tested in-story credibility to breaking point.

"The Plotonium fuel rods have overheated and disrupted the flow of Unobtanium to the Maguffin drive....we're all doomed!"

Polonium Cocktail

1. A mixed drink. It can be made with any combination of liquers or soft drinks. The only salient ingredient is Polonium 210 (Po-210). Po-210 is an alpha emitter that has a half-life of 138.376 days. A milligram of Po-210 emits about as many alpha particles per second as 4.5 grams of Radium-226. As such, an extremely small amount (50 nanograms!) that is ingested will result in a painful death that takes several weeks to complete. Hence a Polonium Cocktail is NOT something you want to order from your bartender.

Po-210 poisioning is an assassination technique that was developed by the KGB in the 1970s. The Po-210 poisoning of Alexander Litvinenko in 2006, allegedly by former KGB agents Andrei Lugovoi and Dmitri Kovtun, after Litvinenko wrote scathing books about Vladimir Putin, shows that the assassination technique is still in use by the current Russian trauponcracy.
If you criticize Vladimir Putin, he'll send you a Polonium Cocktail. Just ask Alexander Litvinenko. Wait, you can't, because he's dead.

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.

Person B: "Wow, EBK."
