Coffin Nails 

Pioneering, but forgotten, 1950’s and 1960’s shock jock Joe Pyne called cigarettes this, being resigned to his chain smoking habit. (He died of lung cancer in 1970, aged 45). These days, coffin nails could mean three things:

1. Long, squared off manicures in the shape of an old school coffin;

2. French fries because they’re unhealthy to begin with; and
3. Cigarettes.

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."
