Refers to where you hastily "make like a crab" when ambling along the road or down a long aisle/hallway and observe someone warily approaching with an extra-wide/bulky "item in tow", such as if a person is wheezingly lugging one or more large humongously-bulging sacks/bundles in his arms, or if a vehicle is pulling an extra-wide trailer; the "courtesy" notation implies that you intentionally move aside considerably farther than is actually necessary for safely allowing the person to get by you; your purpose is to ensure that the trepidatious cargo-transporter can feel totally confident and non-apprehensive about passing by your position.
I always make sure to perform the courtesy-sidestep whenever I see someone approaching who needs extra room to pass, especially if there is a wall, line of parked vehicles, or other currently-immovable object at the side of the road that the person is having to actively avoid. And I also find that I can acceptably do so even if there are other folks present beside the road, as well... even if several people are also standing next to the wall --- like a bunch of huge burly D.O.T. guys at a road-repair-construction site --- I have never been griped at for just unceremoniously squinching myself right up against/among them till the extra-bulky vehicle has passed; I guess it's kinda understood that personal space/boundaries get temporarily "collapsed" or "suspended" when safety is at stake.

Totally unrelated to any "opposite" condition of the well-known "born later in the mother's life" disorder, this affliction merely refers to an abnormal obsession with "all things United Parcel Service" --- the person may collect lots of caps and t-shirts with the UPS logo, arbitrarily ship out anything and everything --- even ordinary personal letters, which of course would cost a lot more to ship that way than just a regular US-Mail "Forever" stamp --- by "ol' Brown-'n'-Yellow", always ask to have mail-ordered items shipped to him by UPS even if the US Mail or FedEx would be cheaper, etc.
Caring nephew: My elderly Uncle Ted has developed UPS syndrome in a major way. so I always order his E-Bay items for him myself, so that he won't needlessly overspend on shipping if there is a cheaper way to send the items.

Refers to da "Yeah, it would be safe and easy to perform da operation on you" status dat a plastic surgeon would tell a modest-chested chick who wants bigger boobies.
A piece of earnest advice for all you small-bosomed ladies out there: just because having a breast-augmentation might indeed be a "doable-d" doesn't mean dat it would necessarily be a wise choice --- bachelors who prefer chesty chicks aren't necessarily any more desirable than those who don't think about a woman's bra-size all dat much. And besides, why would you even want a significant other who is of such shallow mind dat he would actually judge you mostly about just your looks, anyway? Instead, you should seek out a guy who mainly cares about da size of your HEART --- i.e., how attractive a person you are on da INSIDE, such as your possessing a warm personality and kind considerate nature --- and who therefore will likely make for a much more satisfying soulmate.

Zonker Harris's Uncle Duke wasn't overly thrilled about having John Denver playing and singing down by da creek below his mountain lodge until said country-music boy offered said irritable alcoholic a gincentive of 300 cases of Coors beer; said Hunter S. Thompson-inspired bald-head then suddenly became all buddy-buddy wif said young guitar-strummer, and even offered to bring him a chair to sit in while he regaled da mountains wif his lovely words and melodies.
