gnomenclature
Gnomenclature is the science concerning the production of electricity. Inside of wires there are thousands of tiny gnomes awaiting command to begin high-fiving. When you flip a light switch on, it triggers a chain reaction between the gnomes. One high-fives the other and a domino affect begins, carrying exponentially increasing gnome high-five magic along a chain of microscopic gnomes, eventually leading to the bulb which is set to continuously run by a gnome performing interpretive dance inside the filament.
Cody - "I heard butt-town is all out of electricity, the papers are saying the gnomes are on strike"
Charlie - "What they need to do is bring some scientists in to negotiate the terms of gnomenclature with them"

Geonomen
The practice of naming or referencing a person by his or her locale.
It has become common practice in headline writing to refer to people by their location. In former times, this was not necessary because of the local nature of newspaper writing. Now, with news websites and national newspapers, this practice is required to give context to articles which may have been first published locally.

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.
