Sickaphile 

A person who is addicted to being sick (not the actual act of vomiting) this person will lunge from one illness to another ,some will go as far as to seek surgery. Whether the addiction is truly to being sick or is more related to being rescued and or not being expected to perform, function, or be personally responsible for oneself -- to the the by-products of being sick -- can be difficult for even professionals to assess in some cases. The sickaphile will love talking about their ailments, they post "sympathy selfies"even tweeting or posting to Facebook right up to and after operations. A sickaphile may fake or exaggerate symptoms to obtain what they want and further their plan for treatment, when a doctor actually finds something wrong a sickaphile will be greatly excited and latch on to the "diagnosis" they will "Google" the diagnosis, research and join online forums etc if they do not posses a particular symptom, they will simply fake it, they immerse themselves fully in their "condition" and usually will have more than one ongoing condition at a time, if there is a period of "good health" it is short lived. The sickaphile will be eagerly looking for a new ailment. The reason for someone enjoying ill health is unknown. The sickaphile may be unaware of their behavior. If the sickaphile is talking about him/herself they are in their element, always willing to talk about whatever illness they are currently in the midst of, and it will always be the worst case scenario!

pod person

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.
