A gutsy attempt at completing some ill-advised feat of physical dexterity. While the attempt will most likely ultimately end in complete and utter failure (with the participant on his/her back, feet and arms in the air, like a TURTLE turned upside down), the fact that the feat was attempted in the first place will be celebrated.
What makes it a TURTLE-MOVE is an extremely low chance of success and an almost assuredly high rate of personal injury.
"Man.... that attempted 180 on the tightrope was a real TURTLE-MOVE!"
Can also be used as a warning to others - "Be careful out there.... no TURTLE-MOVES"
Everything is ready to be finished, but everyone is waiting on the phone company to show up and pull their dman wire into the building... thus it is "Down to the Wire"
Hey, I know we are supposed to be done so you can turn this project over... But it is "Down to the Wire".... Talk to Verizon about it.
