A portmanteau of Sacrilege, Sanctimony and Acrimony.

n. The potential towards moral inconsistency.

Simply put, Sacrimony is the tendency of a person or group to espouse moral superiority and dictate moral authority. An exhibitor of Sacrimony asserts that their opinions and beliefs are the *sole* correct beliefs, and believes anyone who doesn't follow to the letter is less moral than them. Even when their actions, prior statements and the context of those actions paint a different picture. A sacrimonious person decides morality not by the action and context, but by who they can more easily/acceptably throw blame at and act more brazenly against,often heavily reliant on personal feelings of animosity and skewed perspective.

When this inconsistency is brought up, a sacrimonious entity will take the disruption to their perceived moral superiority like blasphemy. They are liable to turn this questioning on their perceived accuser, framing them uncharitably to preserve the moral high ground, then turn their animosity towards said "accuser" for their dissent, insisting moral superiority to gain support.

Much like a fascist is obsessed with the pageantry of power, a sacrimonious entity is obsessed with the pageantry of morality and heroism. While real morality entails consistency, impartiality and accountability, sacrimony doesn't have any of those checks. Sacrimony entails picking, choosing and justifying after the fact, with all hints of flaws to be swept aside or excused.
"I made it a point to never talk to any one of the debate team at my high school after that year. Turns out that place is a festering pit of sacrimony."

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.
