The New England Patriots 2007 NFL season.
The Pats just got their ass handed to them by the Giant inside the last two minutes. That's a letdown if I've ever heard one.

letdown's syndrome 

Not to be confused with the abnormalities in looks/faculties that can occur from being born too late in your mother's life, this term refers to an equally-unpleasant degradation of one's physical/mental health due to repeated "dashed hopes" incidents that you've encountered when needing to "answer Mother Nature's call on line 2" but no restroom was immediately available --- after having "held it" for a considerable time, you eventually see what you initially assume will be an opportunity to finally relieve yourself, and so you partially relax your painfully-fatigued internal muscles in preparation for said dump. But then at the last minute, you discover to your extreme dismay that said lavatory is in fact **not** available for you to use, either because there is already someone in there or it is out of order; you are now obliged to frantically "clinch yourself up tight" again and either wait even longer or rush off to look for another toilet. But of course it is now much harder to "hold it in" because you have unwittingly allowed your poop-load to partially "slide downwards", and so you may now encounter more difficulty in "keeping your grip on it" than if you'd waited to see for certain if you could indeed go potty before partially "letting go".
Another possible contributing factor to letdown's syndrome, of course, is if you sometimes "relax too far" when thinking that you're gonna have a chance to poop but then are not able to and therefore hafta "clamp up" again --- if you've inadvertently allowed your poop-log to "progress outwards" too far, you pose the risk of "pinching one off" when you hastily re-tighten your sphincter-muscles, and thus you may actually squeeze some of your unmentionables out in your feverish efforts to "re-establish your grip" on said yuckies. Further comments/explanation unnecessary.

Lunchbox Letdown 

A frustrating situation when after feeding a guy booze and listening to him talk about himself all night at the bar, you get him home and as you take off his pants you're dissapointed to find that he has a teeny tiny penis.

Lunchbag Letdown 

A lunchbag letdown occurs when something you had been looking forward to turns out to be far worse than originally anticipated.

The term originates in the lunchroom (be it school or office or otherwise) where after a long hard day someone sits down with their lunchbag hoping for something tasty. Instead they find something unappetizing, whether it be the wrong lunch, it's moldy, it's cold, or any other multitude of problems.

After such a situation, it can be said that your lunchbag was indeed a let down.
Tom: I can't wait for lunch *pulls out lunchbag*

Jim: What do you got?

Tom: Aw man! Tunafish? I HATE Tunafish!

Jim: What a lunchbag letdown.

pod person 

A person pretending to be something they aren't, or an impostor. This is inferred because of the old alien movies where alien pods appear on earth and the "pod people" dispose of the humans and slowly reproduce the bodies, pretending to be humans.
The pod person was pretending to be my father, but I knew that he was an alien when he acted differently than my father ever would have.

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.
