Bumjum (noun): /ˈbʌm·dʒʌm/

A bumjum is a rare and rowdy breed of gnome, famed for their extremely pointy hats, which are sharp enough to double as emergency kebab skewers. Bumjums are notorious for their chaotic lifestyles, often culminating in their inexplicable appearance in nightclub bathrooms, where they can be found drunkenly attempting to barter bottle caps for drinks or aggressively debating the proper way to pronounce “gnocchi.”

Though small in stature, bumjums possess an unmatched ability to disrupt any social gathering by spontaneously starting a conga line or challenging larger creatures to arm-wrestling contests. Their hats, which they insist are “fashionable weapons,” have led to many an unfortunate incident involving popped balloons or accidental curtain impalements.

Despite their wild antics, bumjums are surprisingly endearing. They can often be heard serenading a urinal with sea shanties or hosting impromptu therapy sessions in bathroom stalls, offering sage advice like, “Life is just one big garden, mate—sometimes you’re the gnome, sometimes you’re the flamingo.”
“I went to use the club bathroom, and there was a bumjum in there offering unsolicited advice on my love life—it was oddly insightful.”

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.
