Backtrolling 

Backtrolling (bæk•troʊl•ɪŋ) (verb)

The exact origin of this word is often disputed, due to the usage in two distinct cultural subgroups; Rural Cajun, and Urban Black/African American. Both variants come from Southern Louisiana and date back to the early 1980s.

1. Cajun: The act of using an outboard boat motor to slowly move backwards while fishing. This was often done due to lack of the financial resources needed to obtain a trolling motor and deep cycle battery for a fishing boat. Running the motor in reverse allows for a slower “trolling” effect needed for certain fishing techniques.

2. Black/African American: The act of moving backwards using reverse in a car on idle, while attempting to capture attention of potential female mates. This is most commonly done with a group of 2-4 males, whom after passing a group of females, will put the car in reverse and idle backwards to meet them.
Example (1): “Clovis, How’s ya mama an’ dem!”? “Me an Ti-Jean gone backtrolling, caught barbue. Gonna make coo’ boo yon”.

Example (2): “Y’all Niggas backtrolling”? “Ahhh Shiit, check thottie”.

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.
