I borrowed your back brush
A joke. When overnighting at a friend/girlfriend's place and you bathe or shower the next morning,you inform your host that you took the liberty of using their back brush.In most cases,the host will advise you that they don't own a back brush. You then ask,"Well,what is that loop-shaped brush in the container on the bathroom floor?" After they quit laughing,they'll say,"That's the fuckin' toilet brush,dumbass!" Guaranteed giggles every time.

dead drop
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.

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.
