Right Turn Clyde 

I always thought this just meant you were a bit retarded. As in, you can only ever make an inside turn. So for us fellow colonialists, "Left turn Clyde". Never go against the flow.. only with it.. lick those windows.

Also apparently means some shit to do with a monkey but.. really?
Person 1: Oh shit, don't get directions from him!
Person 2: Why not?
Person 1: He is a window licker.. he's a proper "Right Turn Clyde". You'll end up going in a circle!

sharp right turn 

can be abbreviated as “srt” in text messages, a sharp right turn is when one completely changes subjects out of the blue and the new subject has absolutely nothing to do with what was previously discussed. it is used as a method not to seem rude when completely changing subjects as one is simply sharing something that popped into their head.
say you are talking about animals and suddenly some really depressing thought comes into your head that you feel the need to share. you could say “sharp right turn but....” and then share that thought.

Louisiana Right Turn 

A Louisiana Right Turn, commonly practiced on a four lane road, two lanes going each way, is when someone is in the left lane and they turn right at an intersection, cutting others off in the process.
Louis: Dude, that guy just flipped me off!
David: Well what did you expect, you just pulled a Louisiana Right Turn.

Mexican Right Turn 

When pulling up to an intersection with a red light, the driver pulls into an adjacent parking lot to his right, then pulls through the parking lot, and exits through the other exit, effectively completing a right turn, and avoiding waiting at the light.
Juan was going to pick up some chickens for dinner, and got stuck at red light. To save time, he blew through the gas station parking lot, and made a Mexican right turn
