womplain 

A portmanteau of woman and complain. Unlike traditional complaining, when one womplains, the objective is not to state a specific grievance as much as it is to make the listener aware that one is feeling lousy about a situation or generally unsatisfied with the other person. It is not possible to defuse the situation until the speaker has stated everything they believe to be wrong about the topic they are womplaining about.

Common attributes include bringing up the past, accusations of not being understood, and refusal to elaborate when requested. Topics are usually ones which can be - and perhaps have been - discussed during normal conversation, but whose previous outcome was not satisfactory to the womplainer.

Not to be confused with an argument, in which both parties are permitted to state grievances and offer counterarguments.
As soon as I got home last night my wife started womplaining about me getting home late.

Womplainer: You never take me anywhere nice.
Target: I had no idea, you've never said anything.
Womplainer: Don't interrupt! Let me finish womplaining!

womplaining 

Not to be confused with Womsplaning or Femsplaning (Which is just Mansplaning from a woman’s perspective)...

Womplaning is when a woman complains online and expects only validation as a response instead of a proposed solution.

If a solution is proposed, it will be responded to with an accusation of Mansplaning, whether or not the responder is a man.
Woman: Do men know how many times we rewrite tweets to make SURE it doesn't look like we're asking for advice?

Responder: Um, are you asking for advice on how to solve that problem?

Woman: No! Not interested in your Mansplaning!

Responder: Then, you want an answer to the question do men know how many times you rewrite tweets to make SURE it doesn't look like you’re asking for advice?

Woman: No asshole, I’m just complaining.

Responder: You mean “Womplaining”.

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.
