The other band members hated him because he was a total veel, but he grew up with the singer, so he was "in".

Since we knew that Ween was in town, we took bets on whether or not he would veel our party.

I had to veel the party, AJ, whose band was reviewed in Relix this month, stopped by with a big bag of coke.

1) A gorgeous yet bitchy creature that has the power to seduce any man, but will throw balls of fire at you if you piss one off. Mentioned in Harry Potter.

2)The Veela is also a very close relative of humans, but with interesting powers. Veelas are universally female, exceptionally beautiful, and can exert a strong grip over human males with their brand of sensual dancing. Any males watching will instantly be overcome with a desire to watch them and impress them with some great heroic feat. Even when they are not dancing, the Veela carries a certain aura which is deeply inspiring to men. The effect seems to wear off a little with age, as Arthur Weasley was able to resist the charm of the Veelas’ dance at the Quidditch World Cup, whereas Harry and Ron were about to leap on them.

(Noun, both singular and plural.) A veela is a mythological creature from Slavic origin, also sometimes written as Vila. They're very similar to Sirens. A Veela is a very attractive female creature, often depicted with long, silvery hair, who is able to enchant anyone who feels attracted to girls, with her striking beauty, angelic singing voice and elegant moves. Most sources describe her as a water creature

When a Veela gets angry, she transforms into an ugly monster-like mix between a bird and a humanoid. She grows a sharp bird beak and monstrous wings, and will throw fireballs.

Most sources say Veela were always female, although there are some sources that say male Veela did exist, but had less powerful enchanting powers. Some sources say Veela are born from souls of women with great heartbreak.

Veela make an appearance in Harry Potter, in which they are land creatures. Fleur Delacourt was half-Veela.
The sailors felt so enchanted by the beautiful, mesmerising singing coming from the ocean, that they completely ignored their captain's orders and steered the ship right into the Veela's trap.

The word Veela originates from the Harry Potter series.
A veela is a girl that you cannot get out of your mind, or a girl that you have obsessed over for a long period of time. A great majority of the time they are completely out of reach from you, but no matter what they do (even the most innocent acts) can make you crave them.
Even though she got married 4 years ago, I'd ruin that marriage! She's definitely my veela.

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.
