Couged It means to succeed in extraordinary ways. WSU's win in the Sun Bowl is a good example of this. The unfortunate arrogance and irrationality of some University of Washington supporters has promoted the opposite meaning. After the WSU men's basketball team had beaten the UW men's basketball team for the 7th straight time, a UW fan leaving the game was heard to say..."too bad, they almost Couged it" ...in fact, WSU did Coug It by beating UW at Hec Ed that afternoon.
The WSU Cougars not only have Couged It regularly in athletic competitions, but also in the many ways the University has had a positive impact on society.

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."
