Short for pseudo-intellectual. The type of character prevalent on 4chan or 8chan, or maybe a guest on MSM news trotted out for propaganda, who thinks they have everything figured out and all others are lesser beings (e.g., Sebastian Gorka). Or just a plain old failed or mediocre academic with an inferiority complex in need of bolstering (e.g., Jordan Peterson) who has found rejuvenated glory by trotting out pseudo-academic drivel appealing to racist, or neoconservative, or reactionary or sometimes even neoliberal anxieties.
"Did you see that pseud claiming Trump is on Earth to complete the System of German Idealism? Man was he trolling that journo."

Pseudo-Engineer 

Sarcastic title, proudly used by those with Engineering degrees, when others without the degree, claim to be Engineers.
A supervisor introducing the working team to a new member:
"Even though he’s the only one with a real Engineering degree, Jack calls himself a Pseudo-Engineer because others here in the company claim to be Software Engineers but their degrees are from everything from Political Science to Accounting."

Pseudo-Engineer 

1: A person without an Engineering Degree who claims being an Engineer simply because they work in Engineering tasks.

2: A person who hasn’t gone through the rigors of Engineering School, yet pretends to be an Engineer.
Guy 1: "Yeah, I'm an Engineer."
Guy 2: "Oh cool! My brother's an Engineer. What's your degree on?"
Guy 1: "Well, it's in Graphic Design, but I have a Java certification and write software for a living."
Guy 2: Snickers and thinks to himself "Perfect...another Pseudo-Engineer."

Pseudo Celebrity 

A pseudo celebrity is someone who has become famous without having done anything to deserve it, they are the wasters, the drones and parasites of humanity. Having achieved nothing worthwhile, they are best described as the liggers and Kim Kardashians of this world, the braindead youtubers, talentless and lacking any sort of distinction. They are the self-centred and egotistical nonentities for whom princess syndrome is a way of life. The only reason they are celebrities is because they have more egotisticalbullshit than normal people, they are pseuds, thus pseudo celebrities.
Is the rise of the pseudo celebrity a sign that the human race has gone to rat shit?

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."
