terrordome 

This was a song by Public Enemy on the Fear of a Black Planet CD. And also on the movie CB4. My basic understanding of this term is something that you are trapped in like a hell on earth that you can not get out of. Like a own personal hell.
Welcome to the terrordome bitch!

terrordome 

The song "Welcome to the Terrordome" is featured on Public Enemy's 1990 album, "Fear of a Black Planet." In the song, the "terrordome" serves as a metaphor for the harsh realities faced by black people in America, particularly those living in urban environments, in which escape is virtually impossible. The term can be interpreted as a representation of the struggle against systemic racism, oppression, and inequality. Chuck D, as the lead vocalist of Public Enemy, uses the phrase to draw attention to these issues and encourage listeners to confront them.

"'Welcome to the Terrordome, what does it mean?' It means the 1990s are coming. If we as a people do the right thing we’ll be alright. If we do the wrong thing, the black situation is out of here at the end of the decade. The terrordome is the 1990’s. I got it from this article called 'Welcome to the Terrordome’ that was in Melody Maker magazine. I just changed it to Terrordome, the house of the 90s.” — Chuck D in Spin Magazine

The word may be influenced by "thunderdome," which is a term popularized by the 1985 post-apocalyptic action film "Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome." In the movie, the Thunderdome is an arena where disputes are settled through gladiatorial combat, where spectators watch and encourage the participants to kill each other.
"I rope-a-dope the evil with righteous / Bobbin' and weavin' and let the good get even / C'mon down (C'mon!) / But welcome to the terrordome" — Chuck D, "Welcome to the Terrordome"

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.
