When one takes his shoelaces and wraps them around his balls and works his way up criss crossing his shaft in a Roman Sandal fashion ending with a bow knot. Thus giving you the Roman Sandal.
This was originally slang used by soldiers in the British Army. It probably dates from the 1920s and was in widespread use during World WarII. A sand rat is a whore, hooker or prostitute in a seaside town. These women were not based in a bordello but walked a pavement ‘beat’ (see also pavement fairy) and were known as sand rats because, like rats, they only came out at night and would take their clients down to the beach for sex on the sand.
A British squaddie going on leave would be asked by his mates what he intended doing. His itinerary would almost certainly include the phrase ‘sand ratting’. This meant that he intended to engage the services of a sand rat.
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."
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.
