courtesy question

an inquiry under selfish pretense...where the poser of the question is only truly interested in reciprocation so that they may expound upon their experiences.

carissa: how was your weekend?

tim: not bad...yours?

carissa: oh my gosh! i went to the mall on friday...where i got a new dress because i was invited to this wedding on sunday...but saturday night i got way too drunk with my friends from college...we went to this bar downtown that had martinis for $4...so on sunday i was really hung over........

tim (under his breath): fuckin' courtesy question

courtesy friend

Someone you may or may not have met who asks to be your friend or contact on a social networking site, such as Facebook. Out of social obligation, you are compelled to accept the invitation, but you end up hardly or never communicating with the person anyway.

Jim is just a courtesy friend. We went to high school together, and I vaguely remember him being a total loser. I didn't want to insult him, so I just accepted his LinkedIn invitation. I'll just silently unfriend him in a month or so, and he probably won't bother me again.

courtesy slice

A slice of pizza taken from a friend who has bought a whole one for him or herself, so that the buyer feels justified in their decision since the appearance of greed has been diminished.

Jake was reluctant to buy a full-size margherita, until I suggested I'd grab a courtesy slice or two.

courtesy crop

v. when a friend, etc... uses a photo editing program to remove your image from a picture taken as to avoid you being shown in a less than favorable light.

In a sentence: "I'm so glad that my friend Michael courtesy cropped me out of that picture he took of all of us last week. If he would have posted the original to his Facebook, I would have been so embarrased by my facial expression!"

Courtesy like

Liking ones status because they liked yours.

I courtesy liked Bob's status even though I don't really like him and the status didn't make sense.

Courtesy Card

A verb, usually used in the past tense, describing the behavior of waitstaff validating identification for the purpose of age verification before serving alcohol.

This variation of the standard "carding" procedure is used when an overly polite waiter or waitress asks for the identification of a possibly underage patron, then subsequently requests identification from a patron clearly over the legal drinking age.

Waiter (to young looking female patron): "Miss, may I see your ID? Thank you."
Waiter (to female patron's obviously older male companion): "Sir, may I see your ID? Thank you."
Male Patron (to Female Patron): I just got courtesy carded.
