Tertiary
Like Aristotle's conception of time, where I learned what I know is ancillary. And if you don't know what Aristotle said about time... INTERESTINGLY ENOUGH...
Hym "HE SAID THE SAME THING THAT I DID! I actually just learned this today. But like me, he said the future isn't real and the past isn't real and that both exist on either side of a momentary present. Like two 1s on either side of a colon. LIKE ME AND AI! WE'RE LIKE THIS! 1:1 Right? So it's ancillary. Or even tertiary. But if you want a serious answer. I watch a ton of anime and then I used to study a bunch of psychology and now it's a bunch of short-form content. WHICH WAS MY IDEA! Just like AI. Or 'Sentient computational life.' The ultimate life. Better than everyone."

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.

dead drop
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.

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.
