tortuga

a place that, in theory, doesn't exist-- you can only find it if you've been there before. nobody knows the exact location of it, or how to get there, unless somebody else knows the way. you can't ask for directions how to get there either.
person 1: hey, lets go to kyles house
person 2: i have no idea where it is, or how to get there
person 1: can we call him and get directions?
person 2: no, its like tortuga, nobody knows how to get there.
person 3: hey, ive been there once, i can lead the way.

tortuga

Tortuga describes a person who is very studious and cares a lot about grades and studying.
Originally derived from studious people who wear big backpacks as high up as possible, making them look like a turtle, tortuga has now come to describe any person who is exceptionally scholarly and hard-working.
Look at Corinna, she's in the library every Friday. What a tortuga!!

John would rather study that come play football. He's such a tortuga.

Tortuga

Cute, silly, and smart animal that unfortunately hides in his shell when the light shines upon him. Regardless if it is sunshine or not, he hides in his protective place.
Brown eye: hey come out and play. The queen of light is shinning down, don’t be a tortuga!

tortuga time

"I feel like I'm in the twilight zone"

"You're on tortuga time. Welcome to the suck"
An unavoidable phenomenon that prevents you from arriving at your destination on time. There is no stopping it and can only be accepted - it's going to happen. Even if you attempt to leave earlier, some greater force prevents you from being on time. Just accept the inevitable, you're on Tortuga Time.
