Hermitism 

Hermitism is the act of locking ones self away from society and avoiding clubs and dance floors. This usually occurs around the time of college/university exams. The phenomenon was first noticed in the metropolitan suburbs of Brisbane, Australia when many students found themselves dealing with an increased workload due to end of semester approaching. It was noted that often on a Friday & Saturday night, many social groups were missing vital members when out in public, at venues that serve alcoholic drinks, and play the sounds of up-tempo music.

Also refers to someone who is forced to stay at their private place of residence on a weekend to avoid being on a club dance floor while sober or due to lack of funds/ lack of confidence/ lack clothes which fit correctly/ generally being lame. These people are also following the principles of Hermitism.
Zach informed his friends that as he had numerous assignments to complete for his University subjects, he would not be making an appearance on the dance floor on Friday night. His friends responded with 'Obviously he has decided to practice Hermitism'.

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.
