Bearders Remorse 

1.Extreme anguish occurring immediately following the removable of a Beard. Often following the removal, bitter regret and reminiscing of good times yourself and the beard had and questioning the decision is common. This often lasts until 5 O’clock the following day depending upon length, care and quality. Many will question your decision while others will applaud, however only you and your beard know the actuality.
The choice to disband from your beard is often not of your own will, but of someone else’s, this is the worst case. An example of this is where an individual is required to shave his/her beard for a job, and this person experiences Bearders Remorse.

The choice to shave without cause is a tragic one, in that the shaver doesn’t foresee the remorse that is ahead of him until it is upon him and he has Bearders Remorse.

The choice to shave with the anticipation of Beard ers Remorse due to past Beards dose makes the shave easier, and the shaver feels minimal Bearders Remorse.

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.
