asmrtist 

ASMRtists are the people who create ASMR videos for others. Usually found on YouTube. Some are becoming quite famous.

So they are the artists behind all kinds of videos, containing triggers to make you feel wonderful and experience:

Autonomous
Sensory
Meridian
Response

Which can be described as a tingling sensation which starts at the top of your head and then moves down to the top of your spine. It feels great and that is why it's also called a braingasm.

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."
