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.

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.

This is handy when you strongly insult someone or make a biting comment about a mutual friend who's not in the conversation.
You might say something surprisingly harsh about them that you have to balance out to seem less aggressive and bitchy.. insert the courtesy praise to even out the insult. This scenario normally happens when a group of two or more girls are gossipping about a third party but don't want to come off too strong so as to cover their ass in case someone else is close with the person.

Susan talking to posse: Did you see Laura last night?
Erin: Yea, she looked like a beached whale- I wonder what she ate at college- small children?
(Group looks a bit shocked)
Erin: I mean I loved her hair cut and she's really nice I just feel bad cause she looked so good in high school..
Susan: Yea, you're so right but that was a courtesy praise
Posse nods in agreement

Clogging the toilet usually of public restroom because of the low-quality toilet paper.
There are two types of courtesy clog:
1) Use an excessive amount of TP each wipe and fill up the bowl
2) Wipe, then unload the the roll into the toilet
You can also courtesy clog if there is no toilet paper, you can do this by shoving a water bottle, plastic bag, ect. down the toilet.

The Courtesy Shoot is when you're offered heroin and you do not want to seem rude, so you only shoot up a little bit, just for politeness
Person 1: Hey come over here, were gonna try heroin, wanna join?
Person 2: No thanks, i'll just do a Courtesy Shoot.
