The opposite of buy-in. When a person or group cannot actually commit to something unless they are given something in return, usually for much greater that its actual value, and shamelessly at a ridiculous cost. The seller invests nothing, but lies about ownership when he or she is actually bought at the expense of the organization. There is no sense of pride, only personal gain.
The labor union cannot commit to anything, but if you give them over time or comp time, they will sell-in to anything, just so they can say they have ownership without actually investing their effort or commitment.

song selling 

Song selling takes place when a singer-songwriter earns money in exchange for the rights to use his or her original music, often to a (more) famous, or up-and-coming, recording artist.

If a singer-songwriter has written a catchy song but seems to fall short on vocal or instrumental ability, a listener might say, "you should sell your song." Hearing this can be extremely disheartening for singer-songwriters, especially those who are still developing their talents, or have not yet enjoyed their fifteen minutes of fame.
Why does song selling even exist? Any band or singer who is worth their weight can write their own songs.

Frothability 

The measure of an emotional and over zealous consumer in an upwardly charging market, also known as a bull market. It's characterized by rising asset prices, increased investor confidence, and favorable growth in the markets, bro.
The frothability was evident as over-zealous consumers eagerly engaged in bidding wars, driving property prices to unsustainable levels reminiscent of previous speculative bubbles.

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.
