Vu déjà 

When you feel like you have already experienced the present moment, but something looks and sounds out of place.
When I saw the word 'Vu déjà ' I had a Vu déjà.

Déjà vu 

To experience Déjà vu, as I was once told by a video game playing friend, is when you have died in real life and gone back to a previous 'Checkpoint'. Déjà vu just means that you can remember something from a life lost.
Me: Whoa, weirdest feeling of Déjà vu

Nathan: Whatever you think you should do, don't do it. It didn't work last time

Me: What the fuck are you on about?

Nathan: Mate, you lost a life just be careful, you don't know how many you have left

Musical Deja Vu 

When you have a strong feeling that you have heard a familiar song before and you associate it with a time or an emotion, but you aren't exactly sure when or where you have heard the song. This usually occurs most strongly at the beginning of the song, but can last the entire duration as well.
When the otherwise seemingly happy song came on, Paul felt nostalgic and a bit depressed, although he wasn't sure why. He was experiencing musical deja vu.

I hate it when I get musical deja vu because I can't remember where I heard the song before.

Something that very few people know the true meaning of. Even though deja vu is French for "already seen", it actually is used to describe the strange feeling you get when you're in a situation, and feel like you've been in the exact same situation before, but really haven't. Most people think it means the same thing happening twice, which is wrong. Get it right people!
Jack: Hrmm..
Bob: What?
Jack: I could have sworn I've been here before. But I know I haven't.
Bob: Heh. Deja vu?
Jack. Yeah. What a strange feeling!

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.

EBK stands for "Elite Ball Knowledge." 1 In internet slang, "ball knowledge" originally referred to a deep understanding of football/soccer or basketball, but it has evolved into a broader term for having a highly sophisticated, deep, or niche understanding of any specific topic (such as music, movies, or subcultures).
Person A: "That scene was a direct homage to an unreleased 1982 Japanese indie film."
Person B: "Wow, EBK."
