Prickbrain

noun

A condition in which someone who isn't inherently a prick to everyone - have their prick abilities laser-focused and enforced upon one specific person, usually for no good reason.

Originally coined when softening the blow after calling your sister's boyfriend a prick to her face, because although she agrees he is being a prick, she disagrees with the word "prick" being a defining character trait as the prickish moves are not being exhibitted against her. So instead of admitting he's a full-time prick, you diagnose him with a targeted prick disorder.
"Kasper isn't a bad guy, he's just got prickbrain when it comes to me. Ask literally anyone else—they think he's chill. But put me in a room with him and suddenly he's performing casual prickery like it's an Olympic sport."

"My sister got mad when I called her boyfriend a prick, so I had to rebrand it. Now he's just "suffering from 'prickbrain'". He can't help that his prick neurons only flare up when I'm around."

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.
