Ubertroll
Organised, systematic or calculated trolling.
Unlike a normal 'troll' where one attempts to instigate a response (typically negative) in a target audience (such as slagging off a given model of car, on the owners club forum for that model of car) ubertrolling takes it one step further by trolling those trolls.
The strength of an ubertroll can be on two fronts. Primarilly, an Ubertroll can be significantly more effective than a regular troll by more intelligently constructing a trolling post (either through previous research or by having multiple trolls responding) and can cause 'nerd rage' far more successfully.
Secondly, an ubertroll can use their powers to shut down a regular troll by agreeing with them using a tone that hints at sarcasm but doesn't attempt to belittle them. This can be extremely frustrating for a regular troll.
An Ubertroll is not normally spotted as quickly as a regular troll.

(In context of a Honda Civic Owners forum, purely as an example)
Regular troll: "I was looking at buying a Type-R but they're all quite slow, what would you recommend?"
The troll here is obviously trying to get Type-R owners worked up.
Ubertroll: "You're quite right they are all slow, most of us wish we had Ferarris."
The Ubertroll is trying to shut down the troll by removing the power from his statement.
Alternatively:
Regular troll: "I was looking at buying a Type-R but they're all quite slow, what would you recommend?"
Ubertroll: "Well I've had a Type-R for a while and I agree it's really gutless"
The goal here is to further annoy the Civic owners forum. By seeing multiple people saying the same thing, a Type-R owner might be more inclined to get angry and reply.

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.

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.
