Thala for a reason
"Thala for a reason" is a satirical meme originating in India among cricket fans of MS Dhoni, mocking the extreme adulation of his fanboys who attribute everything to him. It implies that Dhoni's luck is involved in every situation where the number 7 appears, his jersey number, and is humorously used to poke fun at his fanboys. In short, it highlights the excessive admiration for Dhoni and mocks the tendency to attribute his success to divine intervention by saying "thala for a reason" whenever number 7 or anything Dhoni-related appears.
Person 1: "Did you know that India has won international cricket tournaments 7 times?"
Person 2: "Thala for a reason, right? Because his lucky number 7 is always at work!"

Thall
First coined by the Swedish Progressive Metal band Vildhjarta, the meaning of thall was kept very secret for years, and was used as an inside joke to torment members of the djent community. Some speculated it was the name of their debut LP release, but this proved to be incorrect as Vildhjarta put out an album named Masstaden instead. Others speculated it was onomatopoeic, in the same manner as the word "djent"; used to describe the twangy thall sound of Vildhjarta's heavily-distorted extended range guitars. This proved also to be inaccurate.
The origins of the word thall were revealed by Calle and Daniel - they were slurring the word Thrull, and after, took it upon themselves to share the hilarious distortion of the word all over the internet. The word's popularity was hugely propagated by their rabid fanbase who would embrace thall and frequently leave comments consisting of just the word alone all over facebook and youtube.
Thus, thall has no true meaning, but has become a word unto itself.

dead drop

A common place is to duct tape the item to the underside of a toilet cover in a public restroom.
