Gomlich Effect 

The Gomlich effect is used to describe the consequences of a girl screaming in cheer, particularly for a boyband.

The term was coined in 2000 by fictional character "Chef" in Comedy Central's South Park when consulting Eric Cartman on how to make his boyband Fingerbang popular.

According to Chef, "The Gomlich effect is the law of physics which states that if one girl screams for something, it will make other girls scream, and it will grow exponentially until all girls within a five-mile radius are screaming."
The boys wanted to become famous by using the Gomlich Effect.

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."
