Ursinarachnophobia

Fear of bearspiders.
Most humans suffer from ursinarachnophobia because bearspiders are terrifying.
A name attributed to a typical Swiss guy, originally a native inhabitant of the Canton of Grisons.
With his blonde hair and beard he has an almost Scandinavian appearance, but due to his Romansh accent he is often mistaken for an Italian.
His diet consists mainly of swiss grain bread, commonly known as “Körndlibrot” and wine. For extreme situations he always keeps an emergency stash of Cantucci. Under the influence of alcohol however he likes to devour his girlfriend Maria.
Under Sober circumstances, he is very lively, talkative and humorous. He can be enthusiastic, charming and very cheerful as long as he gets his way. Otherwise he tends to be easily offended, stubborn and enraged, which he shows by simply turning his head red and cursing in his almost cute accent. To sum up his personality, one could say that his spirit resembles the one of a Capricorn which is the mascot of his home state Grisons. Coincidence? We beg to differ.
Besides his studies he enjoys keeping fit and judging others for their inability to do push-ups, which is often followed by a push-up challenge to demonstrate his single-hand push-ups.
His many interests include Bitcoin, Banking and Finance, Army stuff, Aircrafts, Gin and Wine. His knowledge of the latter makes him a true “Connaisseur”.
Though his ego is definitely big enough, we must mention his awesomeness and his extraordinary leadership skills. One can be lucky to call him a friend.

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.
