1-10 Attractiveness Scale 

Simply put, a universal scale use to describe to your friends how attractive a person is, usually whilst recounting a story. The scale only ranks up to 9/10, since perfection is never achieved. 'Bonus Points' can be awarded if the person in question has certain qualities that you yourself find attractive.

The ranking is as follows.
1) Hideous
There is literally nothing on this godforsaken planet that could even make you want to hug the subject. NOTHING.
2) Ugly
This is rock bottom. If you wake up in bed next to a 2/10, consider leaving the country.
3) Quite bad
You might, but ONLY if you were either thirteen pints in, or incredibly desperate.
4) Underwhelming
Maybe the subject has eyes slightly far apart, but otherwise isn't really that bad.

5) Average
Base standard. Based on looks alone, there's nothing wrong with the subject. Nothing AMAZING, but certainly nothing wrong.
6) Reasonably attractive
This subject is cute. You wouldn't go out of your way to find them on Facebook, but you would turn to your mates, pull a 'Not Bad' face and nod in acknowledgement
7) Pretty fit
The subject is pretty. Maybe has a few orbiters, at that.

8) Beautiful

Subject is really gonna go far with that face of their's. Potential model or actor/actress?
9) Gorgeous
This is - at base value - the highest ranking that one person can get.

10)
The subject is a solid 9/10, but also has a certain quality that appeals to you. Be it temperament, physical looks or maybe kink-appeal.
Jennifer: Ooooooh, gurl, check out that fireman over there (or something like that), how would you put him on the 1-10 Attractiveness Scale? He is a straight up 9/10!
Stacey: Yeah, but I like guys in uniform, that puts him up to a 10/10 for me!

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.
