Quiet Kid in the Corner

You know the kid. They often wear darker clothes, though it isn't necessary. Normally, this kid will talk to an elite few classmates who don't bug them, make fun of them, or bring them into irrelevant conversations. When you get to know that quiet kid, you can discover they are an individual person with lots of funny thoughts inside. They simply choose to keep them there. When they choose to let their thoughts out, the students laugh, but they're usually good kids, so the teacher's let it slide. Some speak more "properly" than others, depending on their sense of humor.

Mrs. Daniels: Justine, describe phagocytosis for the class.
*class considers whether there is actually a Justine in the school*
Justine: It's like when the space ship comes for the slime monster during its attempt at world domination, but the slime monster makes itself grow a little and eats it.
*class laughs*

Mrs. Powers: And they all lived happily ever after... maybe... or maybe they all died.
Justine: Of course they died... this book was written two hundred years ago.
...
Crystal: Did you hear what Justine said in English?
Amanda: That girl's name is Justine?.. It's always the quiet kid in the corner.

coming out of the corner

the equivalent of coming out of the closet, but for hipsters; it is the point at which one realizes and accepts their inner hipster

I was forced into coming out of the corner when I realized I spent all of my time in a coffee shop no one has heard about, and read Elie Weisel in my frameless glasses while talking about my great taste in music.

saw that coming like a fat man round the corner

Blatently obvious. If a fat person tries to sneak round a corner they will be seen, as their belly will protrude first and give them away. Hence if something can be seen a mile off, or is really obvious, it can be 'seen coming like a fat man round the corner'

Phil: 'Hey, did you hear Janice was fired?'
Butch: 'Yeah, I saw that coming like a fat man round the corner!"

nobody puts Baby in the corner

Made famous in Dirty Dancing when Johnny gets Baby for the final dance. She's sitting in the corner with her parents, who were mad at her.

Now used when proper attention is not given to a situation but the situation turns out OK anyway. Plus, Fall Out Boy revived it's cult status with their song, "Nobody puts baby in the corner."

My ex and I were at the bar at the same time for at least 2 hours and he managed to talk to everyone there but me. Of course, I have a date with the hot bartender and my ex saw me give him my number. Nobody puts Baby in the corner!

Up your but and around the corner, through the tube and into the boob.

An inapropiet comment used by grade schoolers. It is a response to a "where" question mostly said by bullies to get attention so they laugh at the loser.

Where is my ball?
Up your but and around the corner, through the tube and into the boob.
