nobody puts Baby in the corner

Made famous in Dirty Dancing when Johnny gets Baby for the final dance. She's sitting in the corner with her parents, who were mad at her.

Now used when proper attention is not given to a situation but the situation turns out OK anyway. Plus, Fall Out Boy revived it's cult status with their song, "Nobody puts baby in the corner."

My ex and I were at the bar at the same time for at least 2 hours and he managed to talk to everyone there but me. Of course, I have a date with the hot bartender and my ex saw me give him my number. Nobody puts Baby in the corner!

six corners

Intersection of 3 streets, making 6 corners instead of a standard intersection with 4 corners. In Chicago, there are many six corners because of the many diagonal streets like Milwaukee, Elston. Lincoln and Clark.

These are a traffic nightmare. Long waits at the light and people never know which street to turn on.

Jake: We're at a great bar. Come meet us... it's at six corners.

Steph: So is that Division/Milwaukee/Ashland? Lincoln/Fullerton/Halsted? Gotta be more specific, chief!
