keep it
Derivative of "keep it gangsta". The shortened "keep it" is usually said in either a quick burst (not unlike Sagat from Street Fighter II when he yells "Tiger!"), an exaggeratedly high pitch/white voice, or a low and hushed half-serious voice to emphasize the "solemn" trust given to the other person to "keep it (gangsta)" despite all the opposition one may face.
This phrase's originated as a satirical jab at white people who try to "keep it gangsta" as well as those in the genuine thug subculture who are sincerely concerned about "keeping it gangsta".

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.
