This should read 'park' as in 'Park your car'. It is a not too kindly knock by outsiders on how people native to the Boston, Massachusetts area pronounce words that include the letter 'r'. Interestingly enough, there are other words where the letter 'r' is added where it does not belong; words ending with the letter 'a'. See examples of both. This 'Boston area' speak has its roots in Great Britain where it is still used in certain parts of England and not necessarily just by the lower classes, but also the upper classes.
'Pahk yah cah in Hahvahd Yahd' should read 'Park your car in Harvard Yard'. This phrase is often given as an extreme example. Other examples of the missing 'r': the smoker; the drinker; that's pisser (vulgar slang) becomes the smokah; the drinkah; that's pissah. An example where the letter 'r' is added where it doesn't belong: The female name Linda becomes Linder.

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.
