Pillow partition 

A pillow partition is a section of pillows placed between two bedmates, who are not lovers, to avoid any accidental touching while asleep. The bedmates using a pillow partition are typically heterosexual males, who are forced to sleep in the same bed on a trip for logistical reasons. If one male is straight, and the other's sexuality can be considered a bit ambiguous, the pillow partition is a necessity. It can also be used to save face to any other males on the trip who might joke about the two bedmates sleeping together.
Example 1: "Yikes, I asked for a room with two beds, not one big bed. Luckily, they gave us enough pillows for a pillow partition."

Example 2:
Person 1 - "Damn, yall slept together in the same bed? Yall must be gay."
Person 2 - "Nah man, it's cool. We had a pillow partition, so nothing touched."

Example 3:
Person 1 - "It sucks that you're going to have to share a bed with Pat. I'm not really sure, but I think he may swing both ways."
Person 2 - "Yeah, I'm going to be enforcing a strict pillow partition rule."

Pillow Partition 

A pillow partition is a set of pillows or large body pillow initially placed between a male, usually claimed to be just a friend and female sleeping in the same bed who are not lovers publicly and have no other option for sleeping arrangements. The main purpose is to give the female who may have a boyfriend or may not want the outside world to know of her whorish ways a solid excuse to avoid judgment from her keeping of additional bedfellows and/or negative reaction from significant other.
Example 1:

Girl - "My boyfriend is going to kill me if he finds out we only had one bed in this room."
Boy - "It's ok, I can whip up a pillow partition for you to take a picture of in case he gets upset. We can get rid of it after the picture."

Example 2:

Boy - "I thought you said we could at least cuddle?"
Girl - "That was until you surprise attacked me with a spontaneous erection."
Boy - "I'm not sure that was so spontaneous, we should be safe and put up a pillow partition tonight."

Example 3:
Girl - "I swear I never sleep in the same bed with boys unless I'm dating them. We must use a pillow partition tonight."
Boy - "That is what most whores say."

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.
