Inyeol is a Korean term literally meaning "the line which is a hand" however, after an influx of Koreans attempting to become doctors (and failing) it has become synonymous with the word disappointment.

It also sounds very similar to Yale - a failure of a university, hence Inyale can also be used

dude one: dude I bombed my SAT's

When someone walks into your life, be it a stranger who brushes against you in crowd or a future romantic partner, it may seem like a small thing at first. But according to inyeon, every encounter with someone holds weight and is considered a culmination of events that have taken place over thousands of years and multiple lifetimes.
We’ve definitely shared so many past lives. When we first met, it felt like I knew him for a long time. Every time I’m with him, I feel like I’m progressing down a path that is familiar and meant to be. Even if we don’t work out, I know that I’ll walk away with a better understanding of myself and the world around me. It’s inyeon.

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.
