Smoke 'em if you got 'em 

To tell someone that they have limited time to do something, or that someone needs to quickly finish up whatever they were already in the middle of. Usually said before something significant is about to happen that would make doing said thing more difficult to do later on.

Assumed to come from the military, with officers letting soldiers know that it was time to rest and indulge (e.g. smoking the cigarettes they earned/found) between movements. However, over time the term has somewhat evolved to imply preparedness and finality, as in "this may be the last time you can do this, so do it now".

Correct speech would be "smoke them if you've got them" which is usually cut down to "smoke 'em if you got 'em" or "smoke 'em if ya got 'em", depending on accent or how fast the phrase is being said.
"Hostiles incoming! Smoke 'em if ya got 'em!"
"Well, I'm the ride home, and I think it's time to go. Smoke 'em if you got 'em, and then I'm leaving - with or without you."
"Please keep your hands and feet inside the vehicle at all times. If at any point during the ride you become disoriented... there's nothing we can do about it. Now, have you removed all of your jewelry...? Are you allergic to shellfish...?" "JEEBS!" "RIGHT THEN! Smoke 'em if ya got 'em!"

Smoke em if you got em 

When there is an unavoidable delay in an activity, some people will say "smoke 'em if you got 'em" as a way of saying "this is going to take a while to fix, so you might as well do something other than just wait (like taking a smoke break)".
After Joe's car broke down on the deserted country road, he called a tow truck and told his passengers "Smoke em if you got em".

smoke em if you got em

Smoke 'em if you got 'em 

Indicates that the smoking tobacco is permissible and encouraged.

Originated in mid-20th century wartime. Commonly used during small gatherings of allied troops. Tobacco was a rationed commodity, at the time, and was generally in short supply.

The term was later popularized in Hollywood war movies.
The commanding officer would typically use the term when opening a meeting in order to get the troops' attention and to relax them (assuming, of course, that they 'had em').

"It's getting rough out there. We've got to review strategy. Smoke 'em if you got 'em. We've got some tough decisions to make...."

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.
