cased quarter

When I worked at a Miami, Florida arcade in 1982, the kids would ask for a "cased quarter" when they needed a quarter in exchange for two dimes and a nickle. The arcade games only accepted quarters. "The Amusement Center at the Omni Hotel" on Biscayne Blvd mostly catered to the local urban kids, and they were the ones that used the slang. I thought it was great and it made my job easier, too! I see that "case quarter" is listed, but my experience was with "cased quarter" with a d, the kids explained to me that the dimes and nickles were "cased" into one coin.
"Can I get a cased quarter please?"

Much easier than "Can I have a quarter for two dimes and a nickle please"

quarter-turn

verb: to quarter-turn, performing a quarter-turn
noun: a quarter-turn
The act of turning around with your ear facing the person in the seat behind you, as a result of his noise-making.
This is usually far less effective than the half-turn and is usually followed by it, since the noise never stopped.
*sitting in the theatre, talking*
Irritated dude #1: shushh!
Me: did someone just shush me?
*Irritated dude #2 quarter-turns*
Me: oh my god that dude just quarter-turned me, what a douche! Man this movie sucks. Hey, remember that time....
