Cageing It
A derivative of 'Phoned It In', 'Cageing It' is when an actor gives the most outlandish and ridiculously over the top performance possible; generally under the assumption that the film they're starring in is going to be terrible regardless of what they do (and they hate themselves a little for even being in it), and that the director is unwilling or unable to stop them from doing whatever they want.
Named for the over the top performances typified by Nicolas Cage.

Nicolas Caging
The act of gradually destroying your own success, or burning up your good will.
Even though Nicolas Cage is one of the highest paid celebrities in the world, the actor is broke and lives paycheck-to-paycheck to afford his millionaire lifestyle (he owns castles, plural). So now the more terrible movies he does (just to get paid), the more people forget what they liked about him. He's downward spiraling. He's Nicolas Caging.
AKA the slow, humiliating Crash and burn.

dead drop
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.

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.
