The droppings are steaming

The 'droppings are steaming' or indeed any general description of the droppings temperature/circumstances as an analogy to any situation. It is an informal phrase very rarely used in writing, due to its reactionary nature. The idiom originates from a passage in Lord of the Flies where a character, Jack, is hunting a pig and notes with some satisfaction that the droppings he has just encountered are steaming. He is pleased by this, as it means a pig must have been there recently.
"My dudes, come quick, the droppings are steaming."

"Not going to lie, you seriously froze the droppings there."

"The droppings are in a super heated suspension of plasma my guys! This is good."

"You know the droppings just plummeted."

"Compatriots, listen close for I have ascertained with great happiness that the droppings have an effervescence of vapour ,which I can only assume is the gaseous dihydrogen monoxide, which is a cause for great celebration."

The gay drop

The 'gay drop' is a conversational device to subtly out yourself as a person on the LGBTQAI party bus. It is often used to gauge whether the person on the receiving end of the 'gay drop' is also family by opening the door for them to safely disclose their identity. For example, in conversation about vacation goals, while on the elevator with a colleague, who I thought might be gay, I said I wanted to visit Montreal in August because I heard they had an incredible gay pride parade.

In conversations with cis and heterosexual people, it can be a way to out yourself without making queer identities something that requires a big unveiling.
"What you have to do, maybe the second time you hang out, is casually work in the gay drop, so you can see how she responds."
