A seriously hardcore band with a pension for destruction. Their 2004 release of "The Oncoming Storm" completely took everyone by surprise. Basically unheard of in most mainstream circles, Unearth has become a potent and wicked hardcore band with a serious sense of timing, rhythm and musical talent.

Most of their lyrics pertain to the War in Iraq, capitolism, and George W. Bush.

Check them out, you won't be disappointed.
Dude! I was at Unearth's show last night and there were all these kids doing throwdown, and I just said to myself, "Goddamn, this is hardcore, but it's so good!" and then I got smacked by some guy who looked like Jabba the Hutt.

-True dude, they need to haul their asses over to England a bit more often tho

Context: One attempts to undertake a higher-level of learning in a specific intensive study course.

However, this intensive study course erases the foundation previously obtained in prior elementary courses. This is mainly caused by the retardation of a professor, lack of knowing the national language, or both.
We tried to take third-year Spanish, but because our teacher could not speak English or effectively communicate in Spanish, we unlearned the two years of Spanish we had previously taken, leaving us unprepared for the intensive Advanced Placement course that lay ahead.

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.
