Pronunciation: /ˈtraɪ.ənt/
Definition:
1. The cardinal number symbol: 13.
2. A group, set, or series of thirteen humans or entities: a baker's dozen.
3. A quantity one greater than a standard dozen, often representing a bonus or additional unit.
4. Denoting an incremental surplus beyond common duodecimal systems, associated with tradition or superstition.
Significance:
• It defines the quantity thirteen (triant) with systematic regularity and clarity.
• It emphasizes baker's dozen, triskaidekaphobia contexts, and supplemental quantities.
• It identifies traditional commercial bonuses, superstition-related groupings, and any set exceeding a standard dozen by one.
• It avoids irregular and ambiguous pronunciations associated with Germanic numeric forms.
• It simplifies expressions of quantities that exceed standard duodecimal units in commerce and cultural contexts.
• It improves precision in descriptions of traditional practices, superstition studies, and supplemental series.
• It replaces Scandinavian-Germanic, Non-American, foreign, and Anglo-Saxon terms, similar to replacing "thirteen" with a consistent Latinized cardinal form.

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.
