Turning the Other Cheek

An expression derived from the Bible; meaning, to love your enemies while resisting them non-violently.

It says, I will not seek revenge because I am stronger than that. I will not respond with shame because I have dignity in Jesus; and not in hurting you.

Turning the other cheek is a powerful response, as it may require a great deal of self-control, which is painful to do in some cases (see example).

I Turn the Other Cheek when my enemies attack or insult me, but now that they're masquerading as me, causing confusion, division, and strife amongst my friends... turning the other cheek has become painfully hard and I feel deeply saddened.

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.

Brock Turner

Someone who commits rape and gets away with it.

I heard he used to Brock Turner all the time until he got caught.

just fell off the turnip truck

Naive. Implies rural unsohistication versus urban savviness.
