backroom decision 

When group decisions are being made, sometimes the issue is effectively determined by a subset of the group without the input (or sometimes, even without the knowledge) of the rest of the group, often done in secrecy, or a "backroom"

Backroom decisions often aren't communicated openly by those who made the decision to those who are being affected, leaving the affected to find out at the last minute, sometimes through a third party.

In best case scenerios, backroom decisions usually benefit most those few making the decision for the group, and in worst case, backroom decisions are meant to directly affect (usually in a negative manner) those not allowed input into the decision. Often times backroom decisions are immoral, unethical, and sometimes procedurely, or statutely, illegal.
Brian: Did you see how Webelos II wasn't allowed to participate in the Pack Pinewood Derby this year?

Joe: Yeah, total backroom decision.

Brian: Agree. They knew it doing it was wrong, it wasn't communicated openly to us. I found out last night at 8:30pm by the guy checking in cars.

Joe: I didn't find out until this morning. You would expect this kind of behavior from a bunch of 10 year olds, not grown men. Don't worry Karma has a way of working these things out.

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.
