Refers to where you hastily "make like a crab" when ambling along the road or down a long aisle/hallway and observe someone warily approaching with an extra-wide/bulky "item in tow", such as if a person is wheezingly lugging one or more large humongously-bulging sacks/bundles in his arms, or if a vehicle is pulling an extra-wide trailer; the "courtesy" notation implies that you intentionally move aside considerably farther than is actually necessary for safely allowing the person to get by you; your purpose is to ensure that the trepidatious cargo-transporter can feel totally confident and non-apprehensive about passing by your position.
I always make sure to perform the courtesy-sidestep whenever I see someone approaching who needs extra room to pass, especially if there is a wall, line of parked vehicles, or other currently-immovable object at the side of the road that the person is having to actively avoid. And I also find that I can acceptably do so even if there are other folks present beside the road, as well... even if several people are also standing next to the wall --- like a bunch of huge burly D.O.T. guys at a road-repair-construction site --- I have never been griped at for just unceremoniously squinching myself right up against/among them till the extra-bulky vehicle has passed; I guess it's kinda understood that personal space/boundaries get temporarily "collapsed" or "suspended" when safety is at stake.

Get the courtesy nudes mug.Courtesy laughter is extended to the boss or someone that believe's they are important any time they say anything that is either remotely funny or not funny at all. Usually heard in board rooms in front of the customer or anyone else that may have influence on project funding.
Boss: "Thanks everybody for coming to the meeting and making me feel important"
Boardroom: "He......he.....he...he...."
Alan (whispering): "Damn, did you hear Jeff? That kiss-ass had the loudest courtesy laughter in the room".

Get the Courtesy shot mug.The slight erection one gets to show appreciation of someone. Particularly in a nude non-sexual environment.
More than flaccid, less than a half-chub. As opposed to an inappropriate raging boner.
