Rejection & Catcalls
The brush-offs and the things to shut down. "Defol" and "yürü git" for an unwanted approach; the catcalls ("laf atmak" is the verb for street harassment) filed strictly under recognize-and-avoid, never deploy. Plus the affectionate roguery of "çapkın." How to say no, and how not to be the problem.
