Maybe relevant, I'm reading this book Droppers about the Drop City commune. The guys who created it were artists who believed that art didn't belong in a gallery, in fact they thought the whole world of galleries and dealers and so on was entirely antithetical to art. They liked to make stuff and leave it in the street, see how people interacted with it etc when they did that they called it a dropping, but a dropping could also be a trick or a harmless lie they told someone - which I guess they viewed as a kind of creativity.
So Drop City was not named for dropping out or dropping acid, it was a place for people who made these droppings to live - unless that claim was itself a dropping
So sounds as though the guy next to you
@shakahislop was laying a fairly major dropping.
