Prop Hunt 

The most popular game mode on Garry's Mod.

There are two teams: The Props, and the Hunters.

The props have the ability to turn themselves into almost any object in the map -- from oranges to entire tables -- and must disguise themselves to hide from the Hunters, whose goal is to find them and kill them before the time runs out.

While players spawn with the default 100hp, the amount of health you have depends on what object you change into; small objects have only 1-3hp, while larger objects can have as much as 200hp. The hunters also spawn with 100hp, which decreases by 5 for each time they hit something that isn't a prop. Thus, if they aren't careful, it's possible for the hunters themselves to die.
While Prop Hunt is quite popular, it's far from perfect. There are several flaws with the game, such as:

-Balancing; if you play the game enough, you'll realize that the Hunters win almost every time.
-If the Props win by default (All the hunters die), the game will declare "Hunters Win!" instead of "Props Win!".

-Props with only one HP have incredibly terrible hitboxes while moving. It's not uncommon to shoot a moving one HP prop and see ACTUAL BLOOD, but it still doesn't die. "HE'S BLEEDING EVERYWHERE!!!"

-Speaking of which, some props are incredibly unfair, such as the pencil and the billiard balls.

-Small props can get into areas that are inaccessible to the hunters, almost always requiring a noob tube.

-Props can not adjust the way they face, but the prop "moves" with the camera, making it impossible to tell if you're facing the wrong way if you're hiding as something like an office cabinet.

-It's not uncommon to accidentally change into an incredibly large object and not only get stuck, but stick out like a sore thumb as well. Plus, it may be difficult or impossible to switch into something else.

Despite this, it remains quite popular with the VanossGaming Crew.

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.

EBK stands for "Elite Ball Knowledge." 1 In internet slang, "ball knowledge" originally referred to a deep understanding of football/soccer or basketball, but it has evolved into a broader term for having a highly sophisticated, deep, or niche understanding of any specific topic (such as music, movies, or subcultures).
Person A: "That scene was a direct homage to an unreleased 1982 Japanese indie film."
Person B: "Wow, EBK."
