An absolute classic.
Although that word is based on the movie 'Casablanca', it does not have to be a romantic movie from the 40's. It simply must be considered a 'classic' for its genre, even if it's something like fanfiction where nothing has been around for many years.

"Cold turkey" is a term describing the actions of a person who gives up his habit or addiction at a single moment, rather than through gradually easing the process through tapering off or supplemental medication. The term allegedly derives from the comparison of a cold turkey carcass and the state of a withdrawing addict -- most notably, the cold sweats and gooseflesh. It is often preceded by the word 'going', as 'going cold turkey'."--Wikipedia
