noun

A self-referential snapshot that does the impossible: showcasing something's vibe without needing a human face squishing in to say, "I was here!" It's like a selfie, but for things that can't pout or use a filter. An itselfy lets the inanimate or non-human flaunt its stuff, saying, "Look at me, being all me, by myself!"
verb (itselfies, itselfying, itselfied)

The fine art of photographing objects, pets, or even a particularly ambitious piece of toast in such a way that their soul (or lack thereof) shines through, proving once and for all that you don't need thumbs or a data plan to star in a photo worth sharing.
Noun: "I took an itselfy of my breakfast this morning because my avocado toast achieved a level of aesthetic perfection I thought only influencers could dream of."

Verb: "Spent the whole day itselfying my cat in various existential crises, including but not limited to staring at a wall and reevaluating her life choices atop the fridge."

Etymology:

Born from the digital era's obsession with capturing every moment, the word "itselfy" marries "itself" with "selfie" to fill the void left for objects, pets, and meals that scream, "I too deserve the spotlight, but please, no duck faces."

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.
