Refractin'

The period of apathy after a male ejaculates due to the massive release of dopamine neurotransmitters into the brain. Comes from the psychological term "refractory period."
"Yo dawg, how was the girl last night?"
"Really good, I'm totally refractin' right now."
"Sick man! You did her?"
"Nah dude, I kicked her out of my house and then masturbated furiously."
"Oh... that's odd."

Please to refrain

Tabrizi proverb (made famous by Qalandar of Tabriz)

To cease, desist, stop whatever it is you're saying or doing. A badass thing to say to someone when you want to lay the smackdown on them.
Maajid Nawaz, please to refrain. You being defecations.

Bop-type Refrain

An extremely esoteric nickname for cocaine. In the original lyrics to the Cole Porter classic showtune "I Get a Kick Out of You", the second verse begins is "Some get a kick from cocaine". As the years passed, that was changed to "Some like the bop-type refrain" so kids could continue to put on "Anything Goes" as a high-school musical.

People aware of this, wanting to demonstrate their cultural refinement and speak about cocaine, all while avoiding eavesdroppers and self-incrimination, replace the technical name of their drug of choice with "Bop-type Refrain" (or simply "Bop-type", though the later option brings with it a tremendous risk of losing your audience.)
Chris: I'm sick of referring to cocaine as "yatch". It's gone too mainstream.
Kevin: How about "Bop-type Refrain"?
Chris: What the - oh, I get it. I didn't know you were a devotee of musical theater.
Kevin: Eh, I know the Sinatra version.
