fly on Pence's head
The fly that landed on Mike Pence's head during the Vice Presidential debate of 2020. It sat on his head for approximately 2 minutes in which everyone thought it died, but it flew off.

Person 1: Bro! Did you see the fly on Pence's head during the VP debate? It sat there for like 2 minutes.
Person 2: Lol yeah! I mean it makes sense, because Pence is quite the scumbag, like his partner, Donald Trump.

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.
