Baroning 

Baroning is the act of casually lying by inventing stories or modifying existing ones.

Baroning probably has its origins in Latin America and became a worldwide phenomenon in late 2018.

The word is derived from the famous German Baron Münchhausen (1720-1797), a guy that casually lied his way around. His most famous thief pistols (for definition see urban dictionary) were:
- riding on a canon ball over the enemy lines, scouting their positions, and then casually stepping over onto an oncoming cannon ball in the opposite direction to return to his groups

Spanish: baronear
German: baroning
English: "He really baroned his way out of this story when his wife asked him about his whereabouts last night."

"She said she can't make it tonight, because there's a problem with the door lock" - "sounds like classic baroning to me"

Spanish: Esta chica colombiana está baroneando muchísimo últimamente, es una verdadera pistolera de ladrón

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.
