johnstown 

Little town in upstate New York, about an hour from Albany. Can you spell scummy? Probably not if you're from Johnstown. One of the best football programs in the Sir Bills Circle. If you've ever been here, you've probably lost some brain cells. The education system is terrific with foreign language options ranging from Spanish to Spanish. 90% of the fast food industry's employees are from this beautiful city. If you're smart enough to get out of here, do it.
What's the difference between a garbage can and Johnstown?

One's foul-smelling, filled with trash, and absolutely disgusting. The other one's a place where people put their garbage.

Johnstown 

The hometown of potheads and well fair. All the druggies should probably move because their drug money will be gone when their kids get shot in school. Or maybe the government will move for you when you get evicted.
Johnstown is the place to go if you want to get shot

Johnstown Flood 

A college prank that probably has other names. Most commonly played in college dorms. The act of filling a trash can about halfway with water. Then you lean said trash can against a door. Knock on the door and run like hell. When the sucker goes to open the door, they get the onslaught of the water, going everywhere.

I call it the Johnstown Flood as I attend the University of Pittsburgh at Johnstown, and the name fits perfectly, if you're familiar with the town's history
When you Johnstown Flood someone, don't get caught. The "flood waters" can do some serious damage

Try at your own risk!

Johnstown Syndrome

The feeling of dread and hopelessness that occurs when one visits or unfortunately lives in Johnstown, Pennsylvania. This syndrome causes everyone to become angry out of spite and be extremely rude to one another. The only thing going for this town is the amount of massive, devastating floods that have killed the entire town. If you’re lucky… maybe you’ll be in the next one and get flushed down the Conemaugh like your coal cracker ancestors.

“Dude, there’s too many coal crackers in this town with Johnstown Syndrome. I gotta get out.”

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.
