desperanto 

Desperanto describes a subset of the words of the Urban Dictionary. A word is Desperanto if it has a highly subjective meaning and a very narrow relevance.
To be truly Desperanto, new words and concepts must be idiosyncratic, of limited use, and suggest a close-but-not-quite relationship with an already existing concept...and propably only funny to people in the know.
"Wapanese is a very Desperanto word."
Desperanto is itself a desperanto word, as it resembles both desperado and the language Esperanto...

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."
