Cincinnati Turndown 

It happens when you are intoxicated and leave the bar to hook up with an ugly girl at her place. Upon the sobering drive to her place you realize she is ugly and don't want to have sex with her anymore. When she goes to the bathroom to "freshen up" you pull back the comforter on her bed and take a shit, then tuck it back in. When she comes out you pull back the covers, act surprised and call her a sick person, then run away.
Dude, I almost did that ugly girl that I was talking to last night. When I got to her place I realized the trouble I was in and pulled a Cincinnati Turndown when she was in the bathroom.

Economic Turndown 

A fancy name for being rejected for a job opportunity based upon the employer's excuse that "times are tough and they're just not able to hire anyone at the moment".
Despite posting record profits in the previous fiscal quarter, the major pharmaceutical company declined four dozen people at job interviews and gave them all an economic turndown.

cleveland turndown 

a cleveland turndown refers to the rare but savory occasion when you find yourself at a female's apartment who you decide that you don't want to bone anymore after originally agreeing to come upstairs. Rather than embarass yourself by having sex with her or rejecting her to her face, you wait for her to leave the room while she changes/takes a shower/goes to the bathroom. When the opportunity presents itself, you carefully unmake her bead, take a huge shit, and then remake the bed just the way you found it. Feel free to wipe with her sheets, pillow cover, comforter, or whatever seems most degrading at the time (bath robe?). But make sure the wipe job is noticeable, so she can piece together your absence on her own. Make sure the rest of the room is just as you found it. Then run like hell and never talk to her again.
Wow man, close call last night. I couldnt shake this one bitch who i picked up at the club, so i was forced to resort to drop her the cleveland turndown. Crude, yes, but it gets the job done.

Turn Down For What 

To "turn up" is to get drunk and/or high, party, and forget about life for awhile. To "turn down" would be to get serious, go to work, and deal with reality.

Turn Down For What (the song) is a social commentary making the point that many people -- especially in "the hood" -- feel that even if they do "turn down" and do everything society expects of them, the deck is still so stacked against them that their lives still will not improve.

So why bother to turn down, if there's nothing to turn down for?
We shouldn't waste our lives turning up constantly. Maybe we should turn down.

Turn down for what? What's the point? I might as well just make myself feel good and enjoy living for the moment.
