The ultimate game of tennis, involving up to four courts as the play area, no internal boundaries and the fence between courts acts as the net. Playing exemplifies such man skills and a test of such feats to continuous Mannis play. A variant may be played with four players over great distances. The manliest sporting alternative to tennis.
The manliest match of Mannis I've played in ages". "Those people are playing tennis, let's play Mannis". " I'm feeling rather refreshed after that game of Mannis".
A game invented whilst drunk involving 4 opponents racing to the top of a large climbing frame made of rope (original Mannis collesium found in Palmerston North, New Zealand). The winner is the first to the top and is then dubbed "The Mannis".
Note: Competitors may only compete in the sport if they have consumed a minimum of 15 beers.
"In the weekend I tanked up on booze and won Mannis race, I am the Mannis"
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."
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.
