hokball
Hokball is a social media-driven term popularised in 2024 used to describe the exciting and fast-paced style of play exhibited by the Hawthorn Football Club in the Australian Football League (AFL).
Thought to have been first used on Instagram and Tik-Tok in 2023, the term “Hok” is derived from “Hawk,” a reference to the team’s nickname, and it represents a fun, youthful vibe rather than a strict game strategy. Unlike structured styles like “Bazball” in cricket, Hokball emphasizes creativity, flair, and spontaneity on the field, with players given the freedom to play instinctively and express themselves during games. This approach helped Hawthorn make a surprising rise in the 2024 AFL season, captivating fans and earning widespread attention both on and off the field.
Though Hokball doesn’t necessarily refer to a tactical game plan, it embodies the team’s culture of playing with enjoyment and confidence under men's senior coach Sam Mitchell. It’s more about the spirit of how the Hawks play rather than a defined strategy.
Although sounding similar, Hokball is unrelated and predates the Hawk Tuah girl.

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.
