The Corner 

In Winslow, Arizona, there's a sign indicating The Corner, which is mentioned in the Eagles' song "Take It Easy".
Seeing The Corner was a thrill to experience!

that's three in the corner 

A Simon Anthony saying when a 3 is placed in a corner cell of a Sudoku grid and us usually followed by REM lyrics;
"And a 3 goes into the corner cell....that's three in the corner, that's three in the spotlight, losing its religion"

Holding the corner of the bag

An addict or recovering addict who swears he/she is clean and will remain clean. However, they spend the rest of their lives, or a significant portion, "holding a corner of the bag" just in case they might need it (rather than getting as far away from it as possible)

Could be an alcoholic holding the corner of the bar or bottle
(any addict who stays close to their former addiction)
Yeah, I'm clean for six months, it's just my dealer happens to be my close friend.

I no longer drink, that has ruined so many years of my life, but those guys in the bar are great friends, so I spend my weekend nights there socially.

I'm not in a gang any longer. My old buddies in the Savage Skulls are still thugs, but I hang out with them just for old times sake.

Addicts waste years holding the corner of the bag when they should RUN as fast as they can from that bag.

I couldn't climb the pink one in the corner

up your butt and around the corner 

Where just about everything in the world is.
Person 1: hey man where's the remote?

Person 2: up your butt and around the corner

around the corner 

in close proximity relative to another location; also, something that is apparent or will be realized soon
"The nice thing about living in this neighborhood is that all the amenities are right around the corner from us."

"Cheer up my friend, and don't worry...good times are just around the corner!"
