1: Ah! I'm so sorry for you! Well wishes!

Singaporean 

People from Singapore, an independent island in Southeast Asia. To distinguish Singaporeans from other people, just listen to them speak. If they speak Singlish, a 'dialect' in Singapore (Mixture of English, Chinese dialects, Malay and even Tamil!), they definitely are Singaporean.
British: Would you like a slice of cake?

Singaporean: (very quickly) U wan kek anot?

Singapore Sunset Saffron 

What you call a color when then color doesn't matter at all, and you just want to sound falsely urbane or sophisticated. From an episode of the Love Boat when Capt. Stubing proudly paints his cabin "Singapore Sunset Saffron," which Gopher dismissingly calls "yellow."
"Dude, what color iPhone case should I get?" "Personally, I'd go with the Singapore Sunset Saffron this time of year."

Singapore 

Math educators’ promised land that combines the best practices of math education from the East and the West—one such concoction is the “model method,” the problem-solving heuristic that has had global appeal, especially among homeschoolers in the US, in solving challenging word problems that would traditionally need formal algebra for their solutions.
Due to their stand on democracy and freedom of speech, a number of American educators have stood firm in rejecting Singapore math, although they acknowledged that the math curriculum of the “fine” city is a superior one compared to those used in a number of US states in helping to raise the quantitative literacy of the students.

Football Association of Singapore 

A joke.
The Football (soccer) Association of Singapore (FAS) is basically the worst organization in the history of sports. You could probably hire a cockroach as it's CEO and there would be no difference. Similarly, if you replace the whole football team with slugs, you would get the same results as they are getting now. The only difference is that slugs can't smoke.
Coach 1: "My football team has just lost it's 50th game in a row"
Coach 2: "Ah, at least it is still better than the Football Association of Singapore"

Soul digger

A man who dates women with the sole purpose of exploiting their time, energy, and labor while he sucks the joy and happiness from their lives.

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.
