Saala is the hindi term for your wife's brother. However it's most commonly used as an insult, with the implication being that you are sleeping with the insulted persons sister.

In everyday usage nobody takes the original meaning too seriously. It can be substituted as a generally insulting term for any person. e.g "Saala kutta" where "kutta" is Hindi for dog. Doesn't make sense if you think of the meaning of the word, but it is a widely used insult anyway.
Can't think of any way of using it in an english sentence that wouldn't sound terribly awkward. The best you can do is just say "Saala".

The term literally refers to the state of being married to the recipient's sister. In the patriarchal Indian society, saala is imbued with numerous derogatory connotations that underpin inferior social status. Saalas are expected to remain subservient to their jijas (sister's husband). The term is more popularly employed as phatic device, however. Referrals made using saala seek to project the speaker's dominance over the recipient, essentially encapsulating the jija-sala dichotomy.

Saala can be employed as a standalone noun or a modifier. For example, the phrase sala kutta is etensively used to rebuke others wherein kutta refers to dog. Other potential pairings include sala madharhod (motherfuker), sala bhosdiwala (cunt), and sala randibaz (whore-monger). As is evident, saala helps perpetuate abuse of womanhood.
Eh saala, I always wondered when you would show up again!

Shaala/Saala 

The word (साला/শালা), romanized as sala/shala is used in both Hindi and Bengali. It means brother in-law when used properly. But now the world is also used as an insult or cuss word because it can also imply incest relations with your sister.

The term was considered super offensive a long time ago but now it's used as normal slang in everyday vocabulary of native south-asian speakers. It's used in the same context as "bastard" or even "idiot."
"maine ek ghantaa intazaar kiya par voh saala ayaa hi naheen."
"I waited for an hour but that fucker/bastard never showed up."

"ei shaala/saala madarchod amar khabar kheye felsos ken?"
"hey you bastard motherfucker, why'd you eat my food?"

Sahlas are really kind young women. They are insanely smart, very pretty and always have sympathy for others. Although they seem happy, Sahlas are hurt deep inside. They are probably from a rich family, and end up getting all the luxury, but cry themselves to sleep every night. They self harm and pretend its ok. Sahlas tend to be quite bitchey but only cos they are overthinkers. They apologise afterwards, and will be the greatest girl you have ever met. Sahlas find the best man, even though they have several people asking them out. If a Sahla is in love with you, you are special. They can be introverted most of the time, and are very loud on the internet, but quiet and shy in real life.
Sahlas are keepers. They are prettier than most people, even though they face a lot of criticism when they go plainfaced. They are the kindest girls you will meet in your entire life.
Yo are you dealing Sahla???
-yh

Damn bro, you got the prettiest, cleverest girl in the class!

Have amazing senses of humour, hearts of pure gold, don't take much to heart and always live life to the fullest. All Saara's are beautiful from the inside and out. They will always make others feel better before themselves and always be there for the people they love truly. They can if someone dislikes them and they are always ahead of the game. They appreciate everything and don't take anything for granted. She is strong and believes that you can't lose unless you give up. You can trust them with all your life about anything. Saara's often smile to cover up their emotions, just so that they don't worry anybody else and so that they don't have to explain themselves to fake people that don't care. They aren't nosy. Saara's are often too nice to people that don't deserve it and they find it too hard to be impolite. They are very forgiving and always think about and put others before themselves. However, if you ever fuck over or lie to a Saara, just keep in mind that she won't let you go so easily....she'll give you the shit you deserve because she hates liars. If you ever fuck about with the people Saara's are closest to and love the most then all hell will break lose between you and her! Saara's are very proud to be women and try and promote the concept of a girl can do anything and everything, they will never let problems get to them and they are secretive about ongoing issues in their lives. As far as guys are concerned, Saara's know what they're doing.
Example 1: Guy #1 - Ohhh man you're so lucky you have a Saara in your life!

Guy #2 - I know. I just hope that i'll never lose her! She's the best thing that's ever happened in my life!

Example 2: Girl - I'm so glad I have a Saara as my best friend, she's the biggest support in my life.

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.

EBK stands for "Elite Ball Knowledge." 1 In internet slang, "ball knowledge" originally referred to a deep understanding of football/soccer or basketball, but it has evolved into a broader term for having a highly sophisticated, deep, or niche understanding of any specific topic (such as music, movies, or subcultures).
