Hooving Around

Hooving around is the elite art of being completely on bullshit.
To “hoov around” is to move through life with maximum noise, energy, and confidence while contributing absolutely nothing of value. Often involves yelling, pacing, hyping things up, creating chaos, or acting like something important is happening when, in reality, nothing productive is occurring whatsoever.

A person hooving around is somehow the loudest and most active person in the room while also accomplishing the least.

Hooking the Green 

A driving term for when someone wishing to turn left at an intersection quickly pulls through as soon as the light turns green, not allowing oncoming traffic going straight to clear first. This violates the right of way, is illegal and dangerous.

Sometimes it is used with the logic that it's better than you waiting for a whole line of cars to clear and potentially missing the light. Sometimes it is used because you're a douche.

The term is derived from golf; because a hook (as opposed to a slice) is when the ball takes a sudden undesirable left turn at the green.
I don't know, officer. I knew I had the right of way so I just went straight and t-boned the guy. I think he was Hooking the Green. When is that ambulance going to get here?
The act of being a hoon or driving recklessly, racing, doing burnouts etc.

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.
