Post Lethargic Stress Disorder (PLSD)
Similar to PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder), PLSD is a disorder that occurs when a human experiences a long period of lethargy (the person has done “nothing”) to then return to a stressful environment such as school or work. Usually accompanied by mild to dysfunctional depression and suicidal thoughts. Other known related symptoms are insomnia, tiredness, and emoness.
"After spring break, 203 people were diagnosed with Post Lethargic Stress Disorder (PLSD). Of these victims, 23 committed suicide the following Monday. The other 180 reported bouts of tiredness and a few reported cases of emoness.
'Yes, it is a growing concern, especially affecting people as young as 13 years old!' says Dr. Gibbons of the PLSD Research Facility of Orange County"

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.
