Another way of saying a man is limp-wristed or a queer. Implying that plate of turkey is too heavy for his delicate hands and wrists to sustain the weight.
How could he beat me in a fight? He's turkey plate. He may actually fuck up his own hands trying to hit me.

A plate whose food has been completely eaten, leaving an empty plate. This phrase is usually used when instructing children to finish their meals. The reason for doing so is 2-fold: First, to ensure that the child/ren get the necessary amount of food. Secondly, to ensure that the child/ren won't come asking for snacks later, making Mom & Dad's lives more convenient.

Putting your responsibility for something onto someone else's plate either purposefully with sly word choice or by omitting or just forgetting major parts of reality altogether.
Mary: You need to pay the $65 late fees on my video return because I couldn't get into your house today to return them.
John: Umm, Plate Shift! My house was locked today but what was wrong with any of the last 21 days you slept at my house and walked right past your videos on the way out the door.
or
Sophia (looking at scratched pan): You need to buy me another $150 Julia Child's Edition Saute Pan cause you scratched mine.
Jim: Plate shift! You set the pan on fire when you forgot your brats watching Dancing w/ the Stars and I only scratched it saving the house from burning down.

When a dumbass drops something and, instead of admitting they were at fault, claims that the plate was slippery and that is why their food is now on the floor.
