Key smash 

A key smash is exactly that, a random smashing of the keyboard that conveys intense or overwhelming emotion that cannot be expressed through words. However, there is an art to this trade. For the perfect key smash, use the "Home Keys" on your keyboard; this includes the letters a,s,d,f,j,k,l,; as well as g and h. The typical start letters are "a" and "j" but any of the Home Keys can be used. Once you have perfected your key smash, you can begin throwing in letters from the other rows for a personal touch. It is a staple of the LGBT community and a versatile conversational tool.
The key smash can be used in virtually any scenario to display urgency or intensity of one's emotions or situation.

Keysmashing 

When a bottom feels an intense emotion, they tend to get visibly flustered. Since this is harder to express through just text, the bottom may keysmash. Their hands randomly smash out a string of letters, numbers, or whatever gets in the way of their flailing fingers.
Example of keysmashing: "hficjfnhdyhanbdnnmnn Andy, no... That's just too good omfg"

Example of it being used in a sentence:
"Sean is such a sub, bro. Look at the keysmashing. You can just tell. He would totally be into you."

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."
