Fantasy Football Fair Trade Rule
There are two elements which comprise the "Fantasy Football Fair Trade Rule"
When we look at a trade, we should (1) assess whether both teams benefit from the trade and we should (2) assess whether the trade is so unfair that it unfairly compromises the integrity of the league.
We need not look to element #2 if the trade does not satisfy element #1.
Explanation of Element #1.
Simply consider, do both teams benefit from the trade. Note: Element #1 does not contemplate whether one team has benefited more than another.
In the likely event of disagreement on this point, the issue is put to a vote. Majority Wins. Tie is broken by commissioner vote, even if commissioner is involved in the trade (perks of being commissioner).
We need not look to Element #2 if the trade terms do not satisfy Element #1. If Element #1 is not satisfied, the trade is vetoed.
Explanation of Element #2:
A trade may unequally favor one trading party over the other (often this is the case), however, a trade MAY NOT unfairly prejudice the integrity of the league.
We look at whether the trade would - if executed - cause an unfair advantage to either of the parties involved in the trade.
In the likely event of disagreement on this point, the issue is put to a vote. Majority Wins. Tie is broken by commissioner vote, even if commissioner is involved in the trade.
If Element #2 is not met, the trade is vetoed.
If Element #2 is met, and all parties have voted, then the trade is processed.

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.
