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.

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 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 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!"

Courtesy telephone

A courtesy telephone is a telephone located in airport terminals, large train stations, hotel lobbies, and other places where many travellers are expected, which is used to relay messages to a specific person.

It is typically used in connection with a public address system announcement of the style "Jane Doe, please pick up the nearest white courtesy telephone." Courtesy telephones may have a distinctive color, which is traditionally white in US airports,1 and most have no dialing capabilities but rather are simple ringdown stations to reach an operator or other fixed number. Some double as emergency telephones, having buttons by which a user can distinguish between emergency use and inquiry.

Customers can use a courtesy phone to seek information, such as where to find further transport or a person trying to meet them. Some courtesy phones provide a direct line to a number of advertised businesses, such as motels or taxis. They may be located near baggage claim, ticketing areas, and security checkpoints.

Other telephones in public or semi-public places which may be used to make outside calls are also sometimes called "courtesy telephones".

Please visit the nearest white courtesy telephone, I need your help!
