Swishful Thinking 

When all you can think of is making 3 pointers, or making a basket that is a swish. This is common for poor shooters, who dream of swishes all day, and then celebrate when they finally make one, after multiple misses. This is called Swishful Thinking, as they continue to shoot and shoot, knowing they will finally make one.
Damn, did you see Keith hit that huge 3 after he missed like 6 shots in a row. Yeah dude, he is the king of Swishful Thinking.

Swishy Dog

A Swishy Dog is a prank to play on either a sleeping, drunk, or otherwise incapacitated person at a party or wherever the situation permits. Simply wait until the victim passes out, or is sleeping. Next, take a room temperature hot dog and insert it into the victims mouth. "Swish" the hot dog all around the inside of their mouth, teeth and gums, forcefully if needed to ensure that they will wake up. continue to slap it across their face and forehead until they open their eyes. Next, hide the hot dog, unzip your fly and pull your dick out of your pants and present it close to the victims face. If properly executed, the victim will suspect that they just got finished getting mouth raped and subsequently never be the asshole who passes out at a party again.
After falling asleep to an episode his favorite show, Harry Paratesties woke up abruptly to something forcing itself in and around his mouth emitting a salty taste throughout. As he opened his eyes he immediately was horrified at the large, uncut penis that swayed before him. A burst of laughter ensued as all of his friends accused him of blowing another man. But everyone at the party knew that he hadn't, he was just the victim of a perfectly executed Swishy Dog. (See also; felching for duckbutter)

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.
