spurlocky 

To use a very flashy, poppy and shiny style of telling a story or explaining something on film to hide the fact you are saying nothing of value or your subject is so shallow in fact you need for people to be distracted.

Named after Morgan Spurlock, creator of Super Size Me, Where in the World is Osama Bin Laden and other documentaries that emphasize flash, pomp and circumstance over content and insight. Was not the originator of this (Michael Moore came first) but Spurlock took this to a new level.

Does not have to be defined by documentaries. The films "Grand Canyon" and "Crash 2006" are other great examples of this.
The speech by Ricky Fitts in American Beauty was so spurlocky. It was completely empty!

Ben Stein being unable to prove anything in Expelled, it was such a Spurlocky affair.

scurlocked 

This happens if you get really wasted at a party and end up in bed with a lumpy sausage-shaped woman. When you scurry to the door you find that it is locked (hence scur+locked) and only she has the key. Thus you end up spending the night with said lumpy sausage woman. Shame on you.

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.
