hold court in the street

To shoot it out with the police.

I’m not going back to jail. If the cops show up, we’ll hold court in the street.

Mosh Pit Courtesy

The gentlemanly and friendly attitude that exists within the violence of the mosh pits.

Whether you are in a fast paced circle pit, or a wall of death, or in the regular pits, you can be as violent and crazy as you like, but if you see somebody fall over (especially if it is a smaller guy or a lady), you do not hesitate to get them back on their feet.

This courtesy also applies in open pits when there is one on one moshing, and, even if you beat the crap out of the other guy, at the end of the song and the mosh breaks up, you give the guy you've just been pulverising a hug, and tell them well played.

its moshpit courtesy :)

I was in the middle of the pit and saw a kid on the floor, i decided to be a gent and lift them up onto their feet. Its mosh pit courtesy.

International Court of Justice

(MULTILATERAL GOVERNMENT) Also known as the world court; tribunal for trying civil cases, i.e., court cases involving torts, liabilities, and disputes in international law. Separate and distinct from the International Criminal Court (ICC). Based in the Hague, a coastal city in the Netherlands.

The Court is composed of 15 judges, who are elected for terms of office of nine years by the United Nations General Assembly and the United Nations Security Council. It is assisted by a Registry, its administrative organ. Its official languages are English and French.

Only States (States Members of the United Nations and other States which have become parties to the Statute of the Court or which have accepted its jurisdiction under certain conditions) may be parties to contentious cases.

The International Court of Justice was created in 1945 by the UN Charter. Unfortunately, the USA withdrew from ICJ jurisdiction in 1986*, and only accepts its involvement on a case-by-case basis.

_____________________
*The Reagan Administration withdrew from the ICJ when the later ruled that the USA was in violation of the UN Charter by mining the territorial waters of Nicaragua, etc.

Courtesy Rev

An old car or hot rod's way of expressing respect for another car the driver thinks is sharp. The courtesy rev is often returned.No horns are involved because most vehicles who use the courtesy rev have long been without a horn.

Cody: "Courtesy Rev man!"

Courtesy date

A charitable second date one offers just because they slept with the other person on the first date; used to block feelings of 'being used,' not to be followed up by future dates.

Person A: I don't really like her, but I definitely slept with her the first time we went out. Do you think she'll feel used if I don't ask her out again?

Person B: Don't worry about it! Just take her on a quick courtesy date. All it takes it one chai and you've got a free pass out.

Person A: Awesome.
