nintendonite 

The mysterious element that all nintendo products except for the Nintendo Ds Lite and DSI and parts of the Wii are made of. This Element was discovered in an unknown location sometime before 1985 by poor asian techies. the reason nearly all nintendo systems were made of nintendonite was because NINTENDONITE IS THE STRONGEST PLASTIC PHYSICALLY POSSIBLE!

Nintendonite is not represented on the Periodic Table of Elements because releasing the details of Nintendonite's atomic structure would enable Microsoft and Sony to use it as well. That, or it could just as easily be that Nintendo doesn't even know... they're so innocent...
My Gamecube fell out of the plane when we landed but it still works fine except for the "open disc tray" button, but that's okay because you can pry it open. (yes, even the Gamecube was made of nintendonite. and yes, it could survive something like that)

or: my town was invaded by zombies but i threw my original gameboy at them and it was heavy enough to kill them. then i played super mario bros for a few hours.

or: i accidentally dropped my Gameboy SP in the garbage disposal, but it was closed and the water was off and it's made of nintendonite, so it's okay.

Nintendoitis

Nintendoitis (noun) This condition usually occurs after you've played a console game too long. But was prominent with the original Nintendo Entertainment System back in 1985 with the original box controller. After many long hours of gameplay be it Zelda, Mario or Contra or whatever game you were playing, you would begin to feel pain in your thumbs and it would work its way up throughout your hand. But you usually wouldn't stop playing because you wanted to beat the game. But this condition can still occur with just about any game console controller.
Sam: Yo man I'm going to beat this PS3 game.
Tony: Ok I'll go watch a movie.
*three or four hours pass by Tony walks back into the room seeing Sam still at it.*
Tony: So how much further do you have to go in the game?
Sam: I'm almost finished but I'm developing a bad case of Nintendoitis.

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.
