Designated Drover 

A designated drover is the responsible person in a group of intoxicated individuals on a night out.

Unlike the 'Designated Driver' they are allowed to be intoxicated, but not to the point that they can not think rationally enough to look after their fellow revelers.

This may include, making sure all of a group get to the next destination, stay off roads, don't eat dodgy hot dogs, kebabs, etc. They may also end up having the responsibility of soothing the individual lying in a pool of their own vomit or tears....

The designated drover can be determined prior to the commencement of an outing or assumed at some point in an unfolding crisis.
"If it wasn't for John the designated drover, I don't know how we would have got home last night."

You were lucky there was a designated drover, otherwise:

you'd have been hit by a car for sure.

you'd have gone home with that crazy_____ for sure.

you would have had vomit in your hair for sure.

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.
