turn the radio down

A phrase used when something “too real” is said. The person using it wants the other person to stop being so accurate in their statements, thus they want them to “turn the radio down”

“Dude, why do you always go for toxic girls?”
“Bro, turn the radio down.”

Turn-key

A derogatory name for a prison officer (screw, kanga etc) used by inmates in U.K Jails and prisons (predominantly used in Scotland)

Meant to imply they are nothing more than key turners, since they spend many hours unlocking and locking cell doors.

Turn-key, can I get a cup of water?

“Stash that the turn-keys just came round the corner”

Turning Stone Casino

Imagine the Citadel from Half Life 2 but instead in a cornfield.

That building isn't abandoned, it's just storage for the Turning Stone Casino.

e-turn

An e-turn is used when driving in the snow (usually while attempting a u-turn) and you pull your emergency brake to turn your car without having to put it in the reverse gear.

Pat: Dude! did you see that e-turn Jim just pulled off?

Darryl: That was insane! But I can't tell if that's cool or just plain laziness...
