Sniff- Sniff

This in fact is not a spoken word so much as a sound. It is the same sound made when someone is sniffing their nose as they are crying or trying to stop crying. The recovery sniffs is the sound you are mocking.

It is a sarcastic way to show someone you feel no pity for their situation.

Just like playing the tiny violin for a person, this mocks the persons sadness by "crying" along with them. See example
Bjorn: Yesterday, my girlfriend told me that my clothing is out of style and it really hurt my feelings.

Bennett: (very sarcastic)"Sniff-Sniff".... "Sniff- Sniff" oooh "sniff-sniff"...that's just terrible

Bjorn: Oh shut up

Sack Sniff 

sak-snif

noun

When a male rubs his hand along his scrotum, and then proceeds smells his hand--now scented with his ball musk--, he has just performed a Sack Sniff. Often performed, but rarely acknowledged in polite society, the Sack Sniff is an interesting cultural sensation that begs for an evolutionary-psychological explanation. The male executing the Sack Sniff will often report enjoying the scent, or at least conceding that he finds himself executing the Sack Sniff frequently. Perhaps he is checking levels of pheromones in his system as a form of virility/fertility auto-monitoring behavior.
Male 1: Did you really just wipe your balls with your hand and then smell it?

Male 2: Obviously. You never sneak a Sack Sniff?

Male 1: (sheepishly) Yah, I guess I do...

The man enjoyed a refreshing Sack Sniff while undressing to shower.

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.
