(verb) to stop what you are doing, cease (This is a military term derived from the command “at-ease” which, even though sounds like it should mean “to relax”, actually is more restrictive than when a soldier is at “rest”, where a soldier is free to move, talk, smoke, etc. It is from this point that it is used to bring a soldier under control, particularly if the soldier in question is involved in grab-ass.)
Soldier: HEY CHICKY BABY! DO I GET SOME FRIES WITH THAT SHAKE?
Sergeant: AT-EASE THAT SH** OR I’LL HAVE YOU STANDING BEFORE THE SERGEANT MAJOR!

The phenomenon of having to come out as bisexual to the same person/people repeatedly because they assumed or hoped that your sexuality was a "phase." Refers less to the holiday and more to the 1993 Bill Murray comedy film in which the main character experiences the same day over and over.
"My visit home turned into Bisexual Groundhog Day. My mom acted shocked when I told her I'm going to Pride next week, so I had to come out to her as bisexual AGAIN."

Someone who knows what you want, but gives you only enough to keep you thinking they might give it to you, without fulfilling your desires.

Originally, this was of a sexual nature, usually meaning a woman who dressed provocatively, but then would not go out or have sex with the men she was attracting.

Today, a tease can be anyone who leads others on.
My boss keeps implying that I might get a promotion, but won't say for sure one way or the other. I wish he'd stop being such a tease!

Did you see the latest QuestionableContent comic? Jeph Jacques is drawing out this thing with Claire & Marten just to be a tease!

Don't be a tease, just tell me! Did you buy the latest Mario Kart or not? If you did, I'm coming over to play it right now!

The Supernatural writers are just being a tease. Dean and Cas will never get together.
