arrocasm 

defense mechanism; combination of arrogance and sarcasm, in which the actual loser of a verbal debate negates any argument provided by the opposing side--often resulting in a sarcastic, "Oooooh, so I guess that settles it" response. Can be used directly or indirectly.
Directly:
"But you can't fire me. I literally just said two seconds ago that I quit!"
"Nope, I fired you, sorry."
"But I..."
"Nope, you're fired."
"Such arrocasm!"

Indirectly:
1. "Mr. President, we punished Japanese soldiers during WWII for waterboarding OUR soldiers. It's clearly torture."
"I assure you, America does not torture."
"Sir, we are legalizing a procedure that was punished when used against us!"
"What don't you get? America does not torture. We are defenders of freedom."

2. NBC News Economic strategist: "We are in a recession."

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.
