courtesy flush

A flush you perform in the middle of taking a shit so that the bathroom doesn't smell as bad for the next person who walks in, and also so you're less likely to clog the toilet while wiping.

Look if you're gonna take a shit in this house, at least do a courtesy flush

Courtesy Laughter

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".

courtesy chub

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.

She noticed him checking her out across the room and appreciated his respectful courtesy chub.

Courtesy Wipe

When you have a fart that is so nasty that you have to go to the bathroom and wipe your ass because it feels like more than just air came out.

(Person1 shits his pants)
Person2: Ew that was fucking nasty dude.

Person1: Sorry, I think I need to take a courtesy wipe. I’ll be back.
(Person1 sprints to the bathroom)

courtesy napkin

That useless little scrap of paper wrapped around your ice cream cone/coffee cup/fish sandwich/etc. It's absolutely useless except possibly as toilet paper, but it shows you that the food people care.

I've got ice cream all over my hands now, thanks to that stupid courtesy napkin.

Courtesy friend

Friend requests you accept on facebook or Linkedin only because you happen to work att same place or go the same school. They're actually quite cringe, but you feel too awkward to decline.

Woohaaa, you actually friend with Dick-John?
OMG no, he's just a courtesy friend.

courtesy-sidestep

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.
