turban dave 

Turban dave is a gambling side bet in a game of snooker and sometimes pool.
If a player is in a snooker or tight spot he may ask his opponent "how about a turban dave" this means the placing of a wager at even money that the player will not only get out of the tight spot or snooker - but also pot the object ball they are aiming for. The bet is forfeited if after the object ball is potted any foul is made. It can be agreed before the game commences that the person who is snookered can request a turban dave side bet and it cannot be refused by his or her opponent.
Keith was playing Barry when he had him snookered, Barry requested a £50 Turban dave and made it!! It sure was a great shot!!

Tubing In Aruba 

An expression a typical Harold McGee would use when asking his students to stop daydreaming about being a thousand miles away. Often used during important lectures.
When you're sitting there sweating bullets on the AP exam, I'm going to remember this day, how you didn't hear a word I said. You were off tubing in aruba, a thousand miles away.

Turlington 

Possibly the funniest recurring character on American Dad. Voiced by Forest Whitaker, Turlington is a detective of various employers who speaks in a very low voice and is suspicious of nearly everyone. A running gag is that he is slow to react and forgetful of trivial items, which pertain no usefulness whatsoever to his investigation, allowing suspects to get rid of any incriminating evidence. He is also seen often during a time of distress or extreme relief engaging in a sorrowful, half-sobbing dialogue with one of his dead parents. Episodes of Turlington's apearence include: Chimdale, Live and Let Fry, and Meter Made.
Turlington: Mama? If you can hear me mama? It's Daniel. I WANT THAT SANDWICH!
Turlington by Noumena July 4, 2011
A behavior in which a person decides to withdraw almost entirely from the friend circle they belong to and not hang out with anyone for a long time or possibly forever.

Similar to tubing, except instead of sitting on a river with friends, you just fall off the face of the Earth and never speak to your friends again.
Rachel used to be our friend, but she's been trubing for the last six months and none of us have been able to meet up with her.

Turding Out 

Turding Out is when someone with a social embarrassment will delay taking a dump until everyone has left the room or gone home. This allows the bubbling turds and gas to build up and marinate in their colon. For instance in college 3 of us were sharing a a double hotel room in Las Vegas, my buddy Marco and I were ready to hit the clubs, as was Jason, but he kept saying he'd meet us down in the casino, Marco and I hit the elevator, I realized I didn't have my wallet, went back to the room and heard a cacophony of sounds coming from the bathroom . It sounded like Buddy Rich was on a drum kit , hitting triplets, and while a duck was quacking out, just then a gas cloud hung over the entire suite, I realized that Jason had waited for us to leave so he could turd out the atomic powered dump. I gagged, grabbed my wallet and ran to the elevator.
Adrian waited until she thought everyone was out back on the patio drinking beer, I walked back inside to drain the weasel , as I headed to the guest bathroom, I nearly was knocked out by a hail of incoming high pitched hisses rapid fire farts, and plunks , then I realized I'd have to wait, Adrian was turding out. The hasty funk of this little mousy vixen was choking me out.
