Art trade 

A term commonly used between artist, mainly those on social medias between one another. It is the exchanging of art in any form (though more commonly on traditional media) between one another. Each artist fullfills a request from the other, when complete the artists will give the art to one another in an exchange of works. Both on the giving and receiving ends. With this mutual arrangement, each artist has gained the work of another in what they may deem as equal of value. Though, the arrangements of an art trade should be discussed if it is not with another who you have previously worked with, for some will abandon their end of the agreement only receiving and failing to deliver their part of the deal.
Person 1: I had a fantastic art trade with so and so on instagram, they drew my OC while I drew their dog.

Person 2: that's good for you, maybe I should consider doing an art trade with them as well. Just don't do one with so and so. He completely skipped on his part of the deal! He just took the drawing of his favorite MLP character then abandoned all contact with me, i didn't get my promised drawing of my skyrim character!

Person 1: The bloke! He's a real wanker.

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.
