A sugarcoated term used by telemarketers which really means sales call. One of the most deceitful and misleading phrases ever since there is nothing courteous about it.
Telemarketer: Hello, may I speak to Mr. Smith? Hello. This is a courtesy call from Talk America which is inviting you to switch to our service. You'll pay only 10 cents a minute and you get the first 100 minutes free.
Mr. Smith: No thank you.
Telemarketer: Well, sir you get blah blah blah.........
Mr. Smith: No thank you.
Telemarketer: Well, sir you get blah blah blah.........

A college major that is provided as a courtesy for students who are too stupid to graduate with a real major.
I'm glad that we got Babs into a college, but how the hell will she graduate? Don't worry. Schools these days have courtesy majors like sociology and education that allow almost anyone to graduate, even those with the intelligence of a sock puppet.

The lol given in a text or IM in response to a message that's not funny, but requires a response to be courteous. Like the "courtesy laugh" in conversation.

An event invitation sent to someone solely for the reason that one feels obligated to do so.
For example, there are three roommates and you know two of them well. You may not know the third person as well as the other two--or you just don't like them--yet you feel obligated to invite that person too so things won't get awkward.

Cory: So who's on the invite list?
Bob: . . . Amber, Emily, Roxy--
Cory: I thought you didn't like Roxy . . . ?
Bob: I don't. But they're roommates, so I just sent her a courtesy invite so that things wouldn't get awkward.

Before having intercourse, if your partner's vagina is a little to tight, you can take a light amount of saliva and lube the tip of your penis with it. This will allow easier and smoother insertion of the penis.

Slang for free french fries. In the 'hood, when placing an order at a fast food restaurant, order something very inexpensive but then ask if you can have some "courtesy fries with that?" Chances are, you'll get a free order of fries.
