Microadjustments 

Harvesting the conscientious ability to make such subtle shifts in one’s course of action that it’s often unseeable to the naked eye, but seemingly makes said course of action indomitable. Microadjustments can be applied to all aspects of life, but are most commonly known and referred to in the Jiu Jitsu world. The term is known to pretty much the entire BJJ community after a white belt notoriously bragged about tapping a purple belt due using microadjustments.
“I took his back real sneaky like and started to set up a choke, when he tried to escape I used my microadjustments to sink the choke deeper and force the tapout.”

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."
