Data Gerrymandering 

Intentionally changing what the data actually show to fit a claim furthering an agenda. Anytime someone ignores, suppresses, or alters findings, results, data or statistics to fit their agenda. This could be media skewing a graph to hype fear (ex. of violent crime, drug use), politicians ignoring data needed to accurately assess a policy (ex. Lead in the water), social scientists beefing up a study's results to be published, companies claiming a product is safe (ex. Pharmaceutical clinical trials), and everyday users of Twitter who offer a "poll" to show what 'everyone' thinks.
The graph showing the increase in violent crime nationwide was obvious data gerrymandering because the statistics were only taken from the cities with populations over 1 million.

G-Spot Jerrymandering

Continue this until your partner taps out from overstimulation.
"hey girl, you look a little pent up... I bet some G-Spot Jerrymandering will set you straight!"

gerrymandate

Where a political party proclaims a mandate after clearly losing an election, because by the use of gerrymandering they managed to retain control of the House of Representatives. When if anything near a reasonable redistricting system would of been in place, they would of easily of lost that control.
In the 2012 Presidential election, Republicans maintained control of the House of Representatives even though they lost states like Ohio and got less of the congressional votes. However, because of abusive gerrymandering in Ohio, they ended up with 12 of the 16 congressional seats available in the state. When afterwards they claimed to have their own "mandate" from the voters, they only really had a gerrymandate, because they actually got less votes in the House of Representatives than the Democrats did and kept control by gaming the system, not because it was the will of the voters.

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."
