John Boehner 

The current minority leader of the US House of Representatives. AKA Mr. No. Any concept promoted by the opposition party, regardless of potential merit, is consistently deemed by Boehner as a non-starter. Regardless of the initiative, Boehner's alternate solution is always "tax cut". His apparent contributions regarding any useful initiatives within government are obscure or non-existent to date. Unless taking up space, breathing, and saying "no" qualify as a useful contributions...he may be at least holding his own.
Hey John Boehner!!!! That poor bastard next to you is choking to death! Can't you give him some help! Sure! I'll give him a tax cut!

An erect penis. The term "boehner", also known as a synonym of "boner", was inspired by current Speaker of the US House of Representatives, Republican John Boehner. This has been partially attributed to Boehner's perpetual artificial tan, which is often likened to the hue of a blood-filled erect member. Boehner, like his fellow corporate-controlled Republican allies in Congress, seems determined to oppose and obstruct everything President Obama does. In order to show opposition to this unjust perpetual brinkmanship, a growing movement has advocated use of the term "boehner" in everyday conversation, arguing that Speaker Boehner is, quite literally, a "dick."
"Wow, that girl gives me a major boehner."

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.
