crash retrieval
In ufology, "crash retrieval" is the ongoing, covert practice by military and intelligence agencies of locating crashed UFOs and hauling them back to the nearest secret military warehouse for future scientific study. It is alleged that crash retrievals have been taking place since at least 1947 when the Roswell Incident happened. It is also alleged that the sheer number of successful crash retrievals has been high enough and frequent enough that entire teams have been designated exclusively for the task, and that they are each assigned different geographic regions to carry out their duties.
The goal with crash retrieval is to study the alien technology and the "exotic materials" of the craft, reverse engineer as much of it as possible, and then develop as many military and commercial applications as possible. It has been claimed by UFO insiders that there is a time frame of roughly 20 years from the moment a craft is retrieved, to the marketplace introduction of new tech from the craft. During that 20 years, secret patents get issued to the private contractors whose scientists are studying the exotic materials of the UFO.
Examples of modern technical breakthroughs which are supposedly the end-product of crash retrieval research include transistors, semiconductors, microchips, photovoltaic solar panels, night vision, heat vision, stealth technology, nano-technology, and most of the US space program.

After the UFO was shot down by a fighter pilot, a crash retrieval team from the US Army arrived at the crash site, cordoned off the area, and then hauled the craft lifeless away.

Darwin Retrieval
The frantic, high-stress act of pulling a Bro out of a busy intersection or dual carriageway after they have successfully performed a Frogger Faceplant.
Unlike the "Bro" who is often protected by a mix of adrenaline and sheer lack of foresight, the person performing the Darwin Retrieval experiences a massive cortisol spike and a heart rate that exceeds peak cardiovascular training. The "Retriever" is essentially forced into a life-or-death rescue mission because the "Bro" decided to treat a busy road like a Level 1 arcade game.

"I went to the Ogoh-Ogoh parade to see the statues, but I ended up performing a Darwin Retrieval instead. After Chad ate pavement in front of a taxi, I had to dodge traffic to drag him to the curb. My heart was pounding harder than a Barry's Bootcamp class for three hours afterward."

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.

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.
