hufford
The act of entering into a state of unintentionally provoked rage stemming from confused hypersensitivity to a given situation; an adult temper-tantrum; an over exagerated sense of self-importance resulting in irrational behavior; insubordinate self-destructive behavior intended to slight superiors but gravely back-fires resulting in punitive action. Note: the use of "hufford" is only to be attributed to male behavior.
During a small arms range in Iraq, an NCO becomes angry at one of the officers because he disagrees with the way she is administering the range, so he storms off the range, without permission, making an effort to be observed by the officer. The remaining Soldiers on the range talk amongst themselves: "Man, did you see that guy, what a little bitch!" "Yeah... he gets his panties in a wad all the time." "No shit, did he really just pull a hufford?" "Yeah man, the little queer just walked off the range." "Uh-Oh, he is in deep shit now!"

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.
