nanny state 

Any nation that has the government "holding the hand" of its citizens by levying lots of taxes, having trade protection, and having many economic regulations. It is used very pejoratively by people that believe in freer markets, private institutions, and tax cuts.

Person B: Nah man, I don't want the U.S. to become a nanny state!

Nanny state 

Term used by right wing snowflakes who are upset at being unable to call people the n word and wave guns out of car windows, almost always works one way and protectionism aimed at majority social groups is never criticised. Usually the people who use this term will want 100 year jail terms for people who 'disrespect' inanimate objects like flags and statues.

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."
