For Sanctuary fans, it refers to a ship (not canon YET) between Helen Magnus and Nikola Tesla.
Over the two seasons and a half of the TV series, there have been a lot of clues that the relationship between Nikola and Helen is more than friendship. For example, they have both shown concern when the other was in danger, not to mention the fact that the UST between them is more than obvious:
Nikola: (to Helen, in "Sleepers") : "I've often wondered what this moment would be like. Me. You, tied up. It's a shame you brought the children."
Helen: (in episode For King and Country): "I like the whipping Tesla idea." (btw, she had just found out that she was dying when she said that)
Not to mention that he confessed his love for her, in "The Five".
The two have shared a kiss (sort of) in "The Five" and have hugged eachother in "Animus" (both of this situations were caused by Nikola's tricks, but neither of them seemed to bother Helen too much).
Helen and Nikola have known each other for approximatively 123 years and over the years Nikola had saved her life two times, both times risking his life to protect her. In "Animus", Helen also refused to leave Nikola alone in a situation that would have probably killed him.
The only two reasons they are not together yet is because she is too stubborn to admit her feelings and that Nikola really has a problem with timing sometimes...but this doesn't change the fact that they are perfect for each other.
Teslen is my favourite Sanctuary pairing. I ship them so badly!

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.
