straight friend : Now keep going straight and then make a left over there.
gay driver: I'll never go straight!

gay friend: Now go gayly forward then make a left
gay driver: I can deal with that

This is a reference to the title phrase of the book by Catherine Ryan Hyde.

In the book the phrase is used as the opposite of payback: when someone does a good dead for you, instead of paying them back, pay it forward by doing a good deed for someone else.

A phrase used to imply or otherwise act upon the action in which one would perform a deed of good service onto, for, or in the favor of another person or group of persons with the sound intentions that the only thing they do in return is to perform a deed of good service onto, for, or in the favor of another person or group of persons where in which they should maintain the same sound intentions of the individual or group who performed a good deed unto them. This method of kindness is infallible unless met with a person of great greed and/or immaturity.
Johnny helped the homeless man around the corner from his apartment with a fresh meal and a few dollars. Without any strings attached to this gesture of kindness, Johnny simply asked the man to pay it forward.

A phrase that business people use to mean someone completely fucked up big time BUT we don't want to dwell on who's fault it was instead can we all just adopt an optimistic outlook and please can we all start thinking about the future not the shithole of a present that we're in.

Awesome skateboard flip trick which is usually performed by popping the tail straight down and sliding the front foot directly off the nose of the board instead of off one of the sides causing it to flip vertically between the riders legs. The rotations of this trick could be described as an inverted vertical varial kickflip or an ollie late nollie hardflip.
goddamnit, that forward flip was killing, yo.
