cut corners

To do something with less than the appropriate amount of care. Possibly from the practice of taking a short cut when running around a city block, effectively cuting off a corner of the route.

If they hadn't cut so many corners when building that bridge, it probably wouldn't have fallen down.

Corner Rape

1. When a gamer, usually in PVP Fighting Games, will mercilessly attack the other gamer, not even giving them time to guard.

2. When a gamer backs another player into a corner and proceeds to attack them, giving them no place to esacpe to.

1) Damn n00b corner raped me! I couldn't get a single blow in!

2) I lost the match because the jerk backed me into a corner! I got corner raped!

corner hitting

when smoking from a bowl, positioning the lighter on the side of the bowl so that it only gets a fraction of the weed rather than going straight over the top and scorching the whole thing. this helps the weed last longer and essentially allows for multiple people to get greens.

"smitty, you little bitch. watching all that perfectly good smoke rise from the top of the pipe while you're telling some bullshit story instead of passing it is really killin me here. if you had been corner hitting this wouldn't have been an issue because you would have still gotten a good hit off a fraction of the total volume and saved plenty for the rest of us. and if you've really had a girlfriend for six months, how come none of us have ever seen her in real life or in your facebook pictures?"

corner cheese

v. 1. Originating during the arcade fighter craze in America in the early 90's, a phrase; which is most commonly used and attributed to the Capcom game Street Fighter II, that describes a player using the maximum right or left of the screen's playing area to trap their opponent with little means of escape, to which they are capable of holding an unfair advantage through repetitive offensive attacks, character balance exploits, and/or "turtling" to achieve a "cheap" or "cheesy" easy win during a round, commonly ending with the opponent failing to maneuver away from the attack, or the opponent being unable to sustain any more block damage from Super or Special moves.

note: In Street Fighter Alpha 2, a victory icon was introduced in the form of a small cheese wedge, which was designed sardonically in honor of the predominance of "cheese" in the fighting game genre, which is awarded to the winner of a round who defeats their opponent using a Super or Special move while they are blocking.

Inflected Forms: corner cheesed, corner cheesing, corner cheeser

"I only lost that round because I got caught by his corner cheese."

"That guy ain't all that good, he just corner cheesed me with his Ryu."

"I'm not playing him, he's just a corner cheesing pattern punk."

Muller cornered

When the painters are in but your girlfriend can't resist the urge for some love yoghurt, and the outcome resembles a stirred-up strawberry Muller Corner.

Susan: "Not tonight I'm afraid, I've already had to change my knickers three times today"
Clive: "Can I just stick it in anyway?"
Susan: "Fine, but don't forget the mess you made when you Muller cornered me last time!"
