The art of swangling is one that almost defies rigid definition. In its earliest form, the word was used to describe procuring or achieving something in an uncommon or non-traditional way. Since, however the word has flourished into something much, much more. To swangle someone could mean anything from besting them in a contest of wits to dunking in their face in the NBA Finals. It's possible to out-swangle someone, re-swangle someone, under-swangle someone, or even sudo-swangle someone, but there is no such thing as over-swangling. You can swangle an alligator, un-swangle a knot, or calculate your swangle of attack. Swangling, as stated, is an art, and true swanglers worldwide know that there are many definitons and uses for the word, the majority of which cannot be listed here. Above all, however, swangling is what the swangler makes of it. Put your mind to it, and you can swangle just about anything.
Correct Usage:
"One-hundred fifteen to forty-seven? Man, he really swangled you in this week's fantasy football match-up."

"The Greeks really out-swangled the Trojans when they got inside Troy using a wooden horse."

Incorrect Usage:
"How about you swangle these nuts?" Incorrect: Swangle cannot be used in conjunction with any aspect of male genitalia (exception: the swangler is female).

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.
