Role reversal

If you had a tour or reenactment somewhere like a former plantation where black people got to be in the role of the masters, and white people in the role of slaves, you at least wouldn't have the same controversy and threats about shutting down or defunding something that has been around for a long time (and is loved by many people) and is intended to be educational or enjoyable and not hateful or abusive. Something as simple as reversing a few roles to give people a different view of the past than the same one they always have been shown would still teach people the same thing about history, but without confining one group of people into a pigeonhole, which doesn't make them feel welcome there. If that's not good enough for them, they can always go somewhere else, though it's unlikely they will find anywhere that will satisfy their demands if that isn't good enough.
The park went with a role reversal and white people started protesting about the tour being racist and threatening to defund the programs while black people appreciated just having a park to go to where they could opt to go on a tour or not go on a tour, since there was a bunch of shit to do there and a day at the park is usually a good day no matter what shade of skin you have. Hopefully it wouldn't take a bunch of cops that looked like gangbangers shooting unarmed white people for white cops to understand that it's not a good idea to shoot any unarmed civilians, no matter their shade of skin, even if you think the law will always be on your side no matter what you try to do, because then there would only be a lot more violence on all sides than there already is, and it could happen since anything is possible.

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.
