A faux hawk for working professionals. A prohawk is an office-ready version of the famous faux hawk haircut. Where a faux hawk, "...resembles the mohawk when styled but can also, if desired, appear to be a conventional male haircut," the prohawk's mohawk roots are virtually undetectable during business hours but can be styled to achieve faux hawk status for recreational purposes.
Chad: Wow, I couldn't tell you had a faux hawk during work today.

Cody: I know, it's a prohawk...just put it up in the bathroom.

A profawk is a portmanteau word, blending the words "professional" and "fohawk". It is a name given to a men's hairstyle that allows the individual to wear it professionally, in a more conservative and business-like atmosphere but also allows the professional to wear it in an edgy and voguish style outside the office.
I saw a lot of guys sporting profawks at the Young Professional's Organization mixer last Thursday.

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.
