borderline-suicidal 

When somebody consistently and repeatedly has suicidal thoughts, but hasn't seriously considered it and planned out a comprehensive course of action. Like almost all medical problems, early treatment is extremely important.
borderline-suicidal Person: I lost my job and my wife is considering divorce.... maybe I should just put one right in my head...

Similar thoughts repeat frequently

Suicidal person: My family was murdered and I'm being framed for it....I'll go get my gun and end it right here. I'd better do it over the bridge so there's no mess. Just in case my life insurance pays out, I'll write a will to have it all donated to charity...

Suicidal 

Adjective - used to describe someone or something that is in pursuit of ending their existence (or dying.) There are a few uses of the word.

First is literally suicidal : At a certain moment, someone is actively trying to end their life.

Second is basically suicidal : At any given moment, from minutes to years, someone wouldn't mind being dead. They are comfortable with death when it comes. (Their brain will tell them that they shouldn't die, because their brains are wired to prevent extinction of humans.)

Third is commonly suicidal : From one moment to a lifetime; A person may have mild thoughts of suicide, but would never actually kill themselves because they see the "good" in life.

Forth is jokingly suicidal : Any time someone is describing someone else by their actions in a playful matter. Their actions being something that could get them killed.

Fifth is sympathetic suicidal : Used to describe someone who is pathetic enough to fake suicide or act like they are going to kill themselves, in order to draw attention to them (to gain a person's sympathy.) Commonly used in arguments as a weapon to strike fear into people.

Unfortunately in todays world, if you are described as suicidal you are almost always placed into the sympathetic suicidal category. Considering the rise of suicide rates, this isnt always the case. It is easier for people to deal with a friend or loved one acting suicidal if they tell themselves that this person is just begging for attention.
Literally suicidal
Person A: "My life is a never-ending wasteland of bullshit and broken hearts. I am on the roof and I'm going to jump."
Person B: "Don't say that, it won't change our relationship just because you're suicidal. We will never be together again because I can't love you."
Person A: "k" *jumps and dies*

Basically suicidal
Person C: "I hate everything about life. Death wouldn't be so bad."
Person D: "Don't kill yourself! Why are you suicidal? Talk to me."
Person C: "Chill out, I'm not going to kill myself, I'm just saying life sucks and the end of it would be nice.
Person D: " :( "

Commonly suicidal
Person E: " Life is such a drag. I'm beginning to get a little tired of it.. Almost suicidal."
Person F: "Are you really suicidal?"
Person E: "Nah, I'll be okay. Life will shape up."

Jokingly suicidal

Squirrel: *runs into oncoming traffic*
Person: "Damn, that squirrel must've been suicidal running into that traffic. What an idiot."

Sympathetic suicidal

Person G: "If you break up with me, I'm going to kill myself!"
Person H: "No, you wont. You weren't suicidal until I tried to end our relationship. Stop."
Person G: "I'm gonna do it right now if you don't take me back."
Person H: "Have fun with that. Blocked"
Person G: *Eats a tub of ice cream and goes to sleep*

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.
