a soreness in your elbow, arm or shoulder from typing or gaming on your smart phone for too long. Generally, the condition is found in the arm used to hold the device, not the hand used to type. Most likely to occur after a long period of use due to a layover, flight or car ride. Perhaps even long bouts on the toilet.

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."
