Dropped the Towel

Originating in California for an awesome, often sudden, happening, often a climax. Terminology comes from common sexting images where the subject teases with a loosely arranged drying cloth before they 'drop the towel'.

blue drop

From Notorious B.I.G.'s 1997 hit, Mo Money Mo Problems. Said by a rapper named Mase (not Diddy), is part of the line "You tell me who flopped? Who copped the blue drop?" Commonly misconceived as meaning some type of drug, Mase means that his album didn't flop, and he is a better rapper because he has an expensive blue convertible.

Dropping Science

To rap about something important, not 'Pussy, Money, Weed.' If a rapper tries to inform his audience about an important topic, he is dropping science. No longer relevant as the act of dropping science ended when people started listening to 50 Cent.

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.
"The dead drop is the restroom toilet at the Gulf station at the corner of Commercial Ave. and Georges Rd."
