A 2-litre soft drink bottle converted to be used for smoking narcotics. The bowl is screwed onto the top of the bottle and a hole is burned in the side using a floyn, or lighter. The toker sucks air (and smoke) through the hole while a floyn is held on the bowl at the top. Ffnords are notoriously difficult to light without a second person present, which led to the development of the Dronff.
"Got a coke bottle lid? I'm makin a ffnord", "someone light me ffnord for me"

A fnord is a propaganda word conditioned in the masses from a very young age to respond to, usually with fear, anxiety, or uneasiness, but unable to be seen by the general populace. (This definition originates in the Illuminatus trilogy of books by Robert Shea and Robert Anton Wilson.) Sometimes it's used in a sentence to denote a general conspiracy (often jokingly), or sometimes it's used for no reason, especially by Discordians fnord.
I heard that David Koresh is sharing an apartment in Argentina with Hitler fnord.

We are trained from a young age to make the word "fnord" invisible. It is appears almost everywhere and we know subconsciously that it is there. This creates tension, but we can't quite figure out where it's coming from when we read or hear the news, for instance. HOWEVER... it does NOT appear anywhere in advertisements. This makes products seem soothing and good and desirable because the fnords are not upsetting us any more. Further... when you become aware enough through the use of free thinking, questioning the "official" stories, perhaps smoking a little weed.... then you become able to actually SEE the fnords everywhere and you UNDERSTAND that the news merely serves to agitate you and take your mind off of what is really important. No longer are you easily SOLD crap you don't need or CRAP that is bad for you... When you see the fnords and your understanding increases, you see the conspiracy that keeps the general population ignorant and in slavery. It's a hard slog trying to get others to see the fnords. "Do not give dogs what is sacred; do not throw your pearls to pigs. If you do, they may trample them under their feet, and turn and tear you to pieces."
I can see the Fnords!

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.
