Turnstilin' 

When, during a very enjoyable night of drinking with your friends, one friend decides at the last minute to go home, for example by hanging back and not walk through the turnstile at a train stop after all the other members of the party have gone through on the way to the next bar, thus decreasing morale of group.
Pat: Sandeep, why are you going home early? We're so close to the next bar.
Sandeep: I'm just tired...
Pat: Sandeep, you turnstilin' son of a bitch!!!!

-Pat jumps over turnstile and pushes Sandeep through the turnstile, thereby negating his aforementioned turnstilin' behavior.
