Ben-Hur (1959) follows prince of Judea Ben-Hur (Charlton Heston) through his quest to avenge his family after his childhood friend Messala(Stephen Boyd), a Roman Tribune, enslaves him and imprisons his family. The film is nationally renowned not because of its impressive acting, casting, or story line, but because of the phrase "Ramming Speed" spoken a total of 2 times in the film. "Ramming Speed" was used both times when Juda Ben-Hur was enslaved on a Roman naval ship and forced to row. Ramming speed indicates the speed at which the naval ship should achieve and the pace at which Ben-Hur should row.
Husband: Ben-Hur was the subject of my church group for the 3rd time this week

Wife: Its that ramming speed that everyone loves so much

The Ben Hur 

When a nude male grabs a nude females ankels and wheel barrels her; a nude midget fucks her from behind while in between her legs. The nude male that is holding the ankels rests his dick on the midgets head to make him look like he is wearing a Roman helmet. Thus it looks like the midget is riding in a Roman chariot.
Damn, me and two foot Tom gave that girl The Ben Hur last night. He looked like he was in a lil chariot.

A person pretending to be something they aren't, or an impostor. This is inferred because of the old alien movies where alien pods appear on earth and the "pod people" dispose of the humans and slowly reproduce the bodies, pretending to be humans.

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.
