Self-racist 

When an individual consciously or unconsciously ousts themselves or says somethings self deprecating in a racially charged fashion. This more often times than not is unfortunately due to lots of childhood trauma associated with racist microaggressions and not being properly stood up for nor helped. This phenomenon is extremely common amongst generations that grow up in the “I’m not racist but “world of yesteryear. in other words, chances were pretty slim for a child to get proper help from an adult when being made fun of for their race. Some individuals coped with this problem via internalizing the messaging around them and succumbing to the messaging from both adults and children alike, that “Jimmy is just joking “, leading them to believe that their gut instincts about this being offensive is just them being oversensitive, as this is a fairly common response to consistent violation of boundaries in general.

Not everyone who has experienced such trauma end up re-projecting the ideologies incidentally used against them, but the definition of someone who is being self racist and someone, due to these traumas, develop the maladaptive coping mechanism of “going along with it “so to speak. childhood bullying sucks.
Samantha says a lot of self-racist jokes. I don’t think she realizes it but, it makes me really insecure about myself.

A lot of twitch streamers make self-racist jokes while live. It’s unfortunate they feel that they have to do this to feel excepted.

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.
