courtesy friend

Someone you may or may not have met who asks to be your friend or contact on a social networking site, such as Facebook. Out of social obligation, you are compelled to accept the invitation, but you end up hardly or never communicating with the person anyway.

Jim is just a courtesy friend. We went to high school together, and I vaguely remember him being a total loser. I didn't want to insult him, so I just accepted his LinkedIn invitation. I'll just silently unfriend him in a month or so, and he probably won't bother me again.

courtesy question

an inquiry under selfish pretense...where the poser of the question is only truly interested in reciprocation so that they may expound upon their experiences.

carissa: how was your weekend?

tim: not bad...yours?

carissa: oh my gosh! i went to the mall on friday...where i got a new dress because i was invited to this wedding on sunday...but saturday night i got way too drunk with my friends from college...we went to this bar downtown that had martinis for $4...so on sunday i was really hung over........

tim (under his breath): fuckin' courtesy question

courtesy dick

When there are ample boobs in a TV show or movie so the writers throw the female viewers a bone by showing a dick from time to time.

Guy: This movie is awesome. So many titties!
Girl: So many titties is right. How about some courtesy dick for the ladies?!

Courtesy like

Liking ones status because they liked yours.

I courtesy liked Bob's status even though I don't really like him and the status didn't make sense.

courtesy slice

A slice of pizza taken from a friend who has bought a whole one for him or herself, so that the buyer feels justified in their decision since the appearance of greed has been diminished.

Jake was reluctant to buy a full-size margherita, until I suggested I'd grab a courtesy slice or two.

Courtesy Mute

When you're on a Zoom call and you have to fart, so you mute your mic for a few seconds so nobody hears it.

I was right in the middle of my job interview when I had an uncontrollable urge to toot, so I did a courtesy mute. The best part? I ended up getting the job.
