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........

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.

courtesy junky

Someone who is very insistent upon being courteous, to the point where it is aggravating and at times inconvenient to the recipient, such as holding the door open for you even though your still several feet away, causing you to start a slow jog to the door to show good manners, though it made the process more difficult and awkward for you.

Friend 1: yea man ill be there in 15 minutes, I'm stuck at this stop sign behind this fuckin courtesy junky

Friend 2: why don't you just pass them in the left lane?

Friend 1: cmon bro, that's impolite

Friend 2: dude, your fuckin courtesy junky!

Stoner 1: Thanks for the ride home man! Here I packed you a courtesy bowl, would you like to take the first hit?
Stoner 2: Why thank you I think I will!

courtesy crop

v. when a friend, etc... uses a photo editing program to remove your image from a picture taken as to avoid you being shown in a less than favorable light.

In a sentence: "I'm so glad that my friend Michael courtesy cropped me out of that picture he took of all of us last week. If he would have posted the original to his Facebook, I would have been so embarrased by my facial expression!"
