wrong uses for this 

it is incorrect to use "this" when not followed by a noun or participle.

in the example below we see the confusion that can be caused when "this" is left hanging. in the correct sentence, we see that the reader now knows not only that a dildo is frequently stuck up their asses, but we now know which dildo, "this dildo".
Wrong: It seems that many people who post on urbandictionary are 13 years old, have anywhere from 3 - 7 pubic hairs, and often stick this up their ass.

This dictionary was created as a resource for people who wanted to learn the latest slang terms. Lately, it has been used to degrate the mental well-being of many different individuals. This is not what this was created for. By using it in that sense, this site has lost whatever dignity it had to begin and has damaged feelings of people who did not even realize they were being made fun of behind their backs, and for the entire world to see. For all the people who have "cracked" on other people, or completley decimated the character of another person I ask you: What have you accomplished? Do you feel good when you make others feel bad? Do you think that people will like you more if you hurt someone else intentionally? All you have done by tarnishing the image of someone else virtually is destroy your own image in real life.
Cruel People may never learn from their mistakes....

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.
