The “Democratic memo” didn’t drop. The House Intelligence Committee released it.
Movies and records drop. But as Elaine said at breakfast, “This isn’t show business.”
Things that should drop: hints, balloons, a line, the other shoe. Pins, as long as you can hear them. The mic, though I hate that spelling. I’m out.

I would have thought "mike."
You can also, according to Canadian hip-hopper Maestro Fresh Wes, “Drop the Needle”: https://youtu.be/vsDRdmCSRW0 Is that song almost 30 years old? Sheesh!
Other drops I’ve head: “drop the dead donkey” and “drop by sometime”.
“Open mic” get 13.8 million results in Google; “open mike,” 506,000. A search for “mike drop” changes to “mic drop.” I think the c is winning. M-W has entries for both mic and mike.
The needle drop: I know it’s what DJs do, though I don’t know that tune.
Also bombs, trou, a stitch (though you shouldn’t drop a stitch). For the bombs, I’d rather think of a drummer than a warplane.
What’s the donkey about?
