Type A Inefficiency
Type A Inefficiency is a chronic condition that affects a small portion of the population. Individuals suffering from this affliction demonstrate typical Type A behavior (time-urgent behavior, perfectionism, need for control, etc.), but with the caveat of not knowing how to plan with a group effectively. Often affecting the roommates of the afflicted, Type A Ineffiecients turn seemingly simple or nonexistent problems into the biggest stressfuck imaginable. A typical example would be expecting a group to make multiple trips as a unit to complete errands that could be divided and accomplished in a fraction of the time, seperately. There also appears to be a strong attachment towards bothering others with non-existent problems (3 dirty plates in the sink when the dishwasher is actively running) during the most inconvenient moments (during a pregame) and expecting immediate action. While not a character issue, Type A Inefficient behavior tends to really irritate those who like to go with the flow and like to reduce stress in their lives while also accomplishing everything they need to. To those with Type A Inefficiency, we like to simply say, FITFO.

Chill Friend: Well you haven't been here all day, it's really late and this is gonna take a long time, and besides I'll only be gone for a day I'm sure we can find a way to get this done as a group when we're back together.
Type A Inefficient Friend: I know you're awake, i dont care that this is quite possibly the worst time to expect this to get done. HOW AM I GOING TO SURVIVE FOR ONE NIGHT IN A MILDLY UNKEPT HOUSE BY MYSELF WITH MY CLOTHES IN A SUITCASE.

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.
