My veins have turned to bone

Short for the hardening of what was once soft.

“My veins have turned to bone” My veins, once the lively rivers of my essence, have turned to bone – fortress walls weathered by the relentless passage of time. In their stoic transformation, they bear witness to the battles fought and the enduring spirit forged through the ages

Stage Turn

The act of turning so people see little to none of your back area.

Drama Coach: Hey! No butt to the audience! You know how to stage turn!

Nova Turn

When a motorist wants to make a turn at an intersection, and is in the farthest opposite lane from the direction she needs to turn, and so cuts across 5 lanes of traffic to do so. The name comes from Northern Virginia, where drivers frequently make this sort of maneuver due to talking on the phone or applying makeup.

Today's commute sucked, I had to wait through two extra cycles of the light because some woman pulled a Nova turn and made everyone miss the light

Non-sexual turn on

A non-sexual turn on means that you like something that isn't sex appealing. It could be because of how controlling they look, sound, or are behaving and vice versa.

These are examples of a non-sexual turn on "I like it when my boyfriend drives."

"I like it when my girlfriend praises me."

"I like it when my partner kisses my hand."

8 Turn

When you are on a two lane two way road and realize that you missed a left turn so you make a U turn and go diagonally to it. But then you realize its the wrong one and it’s actually ahead so you make another U turn. Then you move left to get on the correct side again.

Person 1: I had to make a 8 turn today and now I feel stupid.

Person 2: You feel stupid? I made a Z turn because I didn’t notice the side I was on was under construction. I didn’t even finish the turn after the diagonal… I had to get my car towed AND fixed!
