Capitis diminutio maxima
Traces back to Roman civil law, where one's social status (civil liberties) are so degraded they resemble those of a pariah, enemy combatant, or slave.
According to internet Conspiracy Theory, it also refers to the capitalization of one's name on their birth certificate, license, bank account, etc.. as a result of one's Social Security Number which locks one into a lifetime of debt (slavery) to the matrix. The capitalized name represents one's fictional legal/corporate identity.
Why else would They completely capitalize your name on everything "official" and "legal"?

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.
