To quit.

This phrase comes from boxing. When a boxer is too beat up to continue, his coach throws a towel into the ring to signal that the fight is over.

Towers in the Mist 

When two tall strangers, usually in a country with where people are shorter, see each other across a crowded area and feel compelled to acknowledge each other like two towers in the mist.

Walking in the crowded streets of Hong Kong, I was always head and shoulders above everyone else on the street except for another westerner across the street. We acknowledged each other and the silly situation with a head nod, much like towers in the mist.

Towel in the Hood

The practice of padding out the inside of a condom with wads of toilet paper or Kleenex because the woman's vaj is so stretched out you need a lot of bulk just to touch the sides.

You meeting up with her for secret lunch? Make sure you do the towel in the hood or she’s not going to feel a thing!
