Most creatures have the male giving the female semen for their egg. But seahorses have the female giving the male an egg.
So I propose the slang “dropped off” for female seahorses impregnating male seahorses.

Then you have pacific salmon, where they dump the eggs and semen in a pit in a river, and both die shortly after. Giving a whole host of meanings to "dropped off".
Or the turtles who bury eggs on a beach and never go back.
I call that Thunderdoming.
Is there an added adjective if it's done in the same area you were born and grew up, after having lived far away for a while?
they dump the eggs and semen in a pit in a river, and both die shortly after.
We call that "coming and going"
Brilliant, love it.
