sciencism
The inexpert, flawed and sometimes intentional misuse of scientific method to explain anecdotal evidence in order to foment fear of actual scientific discovery or progress and to promote confirmation bias contrary to fact.
Janet placed the key on her neck and said to inquiry panel members: "If the vaccine doesn't fill your body with magnetic crystals, then explain why this key sticks to my neck. Huh?" The key promptly falls off her neck. Janet does not realize that keys are generally brass and won't actually stick to a magnet because -- wait for it -- brass is not magnetic. The key sticks to Janet's neck at certain angles because of perspiration, similar to the spoon-on-the-nose trick kids do at Thanksgiving gatherings. Janet has resorted to sciencism to justify her reasoning for not trusting vaccination against the pandemic.

dead drop
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.

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.
