Thrifster 

Likes indie and experimental music. Follows the saying "art is whatever you can get away with", and most often practices some form of art. Usually seen driving a beat up vehicle with several quirks, such as a stationwagon. Found shopping at thrift stores and vintage specialty shops. Attempts to start their own trends, such as wearing a satchel, or wearing hats with a company logo (ex. AT&T) that are usually given away free as if they were a designer brand. No specific hairstyles, though unique or unusual styles are common. Unafraid to express themselves in any way they feel fit. If straight, have no problem displaying gay tendencies to make others uncomfortable. Constant party-goers. Parkour is a favorite pasttime, as well as philosophy. Big words are often thrown around, but only because they understand what they mean.
"That thrifster's trend is actually starting to catch on! Maybe I should go buy myself a satchel!"

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.
