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.
See, I call what happens in shark wombs 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.
