oishii dayo 

In japanese, expression showing the full satisfaction obtained by eating, drinking or tasting anyway, somethings really delicious (delicious is what oishii properly means), mostly, but not necessarily, related to food or drink.
Coming from the Imperial Family and the noble class of the Heian period (794-1185 AC), it's still mainly used among highly educated people and academic circles, as a way of very polite and formal appreciation, sometimes just in order to mark the intellectual superiority from the common way of speaking.

nani sore? oishii no? 

A somewhat of a dead meme in Japan that you might hear a Japanese native say. It is often used when someone uses some fancy/obscure English or Japanese word that the listener doesn't know. Literally translated, it means "What is that? Is it delicious?". It has nothing to do with food though. 「Written in Japanese (with 漢字) -> 何それ?美味しいの?」

Are insecure and have hearts that are a little fragile only because they are full of so much love to give. Oishis are witty and wild and can be found cursing computer science engineering projects at wee hours of the night.

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.
