schrodinger 

DUMB VERSION:
someone who fucking put a cat in a box with something dangerous that would have a 50% chance to kill the cat so that he could explain "paralell universes" better
GOOD VERSION:
schrodinger (1887-1961) was a man who wanted to describe that...feeling...when...a path forks, and...how to emphasize on that. so, he made "schrodinger's cat", a tale as old as time, where he stuffed a cat in a box, and put something dangerous in it (we actually don't know what it was) that had a 50% chance of killing the cat. now, this setup resulted is something interesting: WE DO NOT KNOW IF THE CAT IS DEAD OR ALIVE, UNTIL WE LIFT THE LID ON THE BOX. this shattered the universe and duplicated it, where there were now TWO of the exact same universe that of which only difference was a cat that was dead and one that was alive. he had single handedly described the fork in the road...PARALELL UNIVERSES.

Schrödinger 

A Schrödinger is someone who decides what they meant by something only after seeing the reaction to it. A good example of this is Schrödinger's Douchebag, which is commonly defined as "Someone who says something bad, and decides weather or not it was a joke after seeing the reaction to it." Another example is someone who sends a risky text and says they accidentally sent it to the wrong person if the reaction to the text is negative.
Person One: This person asked me out and said it was a dare when I rejected them.

Person Two: That definitely wasn't a dare, they were just being a Schrödinger.

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.
