Pata sucia 

Spanish for "dirty foot" that's used in Latin America to insult someone by calling them Dirty/Gross (most of the times that's the case, but it can also be used sometimes just as an insult even if the person is clean). Mothers may call their children this a lot if they're not wearing some kind of shoes at home.
You can say "don't be Pata Sucia" or "don't be A Pata Sucia". Both are fine

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."
