turn and burn
This is military fighter pilots' jargon. When the last
missile is fired or when the ordinance has been dropped on target, it is then time to quickly get out of the area-of-operations. The pilot turns his plane towards base and shifts into
after-burner. This has since been adopted by the civilian community to mean when a decision has been made, especially if it was a poor decision, you forget about it and
press on with the next phase of the mission.

In the restaurant world, this phrase describes the method by which a server will try to get a
table out of his section as quickly as possible. This method is especially useful when dealing with customers who are not spending a lot of money and therefore, will not leave a
big tip.
Popular methods include speedy food delivery, dropping the check before clearing plates, using short and speedy sentences, and anything else that will
expedite the process of getting those cheap customers the hell out of there.
Example:
Waiter #1: Bleeding hell! My 4-top ordered 4 glasses of water, and they're
splitting an
appetizer. And that's all they're getting.
Waiter #2: You better turn and burn if you want to make any money tonight.

In the world of
resale, the practice of
reselling an item very quick for little to no profit (or sometimes
at a loss), usually in as-is condition or with no work put into the item. Can also describe what someone does when they sell you a suspect item on the street, Craigslist, etc... (like a stolen phone or fake drugs) and then try to get the hell out of there before you figure it out.
Example:
Billy: This car we got at auction is going to need major
engine work soon!
Bob: Don't worry, we will just turn and burn. It'll be
the next guy's problem.
Billy: That 'weed guy' just sold me a bag of
oregano and when I found out, he already took off running! I'm out fifty bucks!
Bob: That sucks man. He just did a turn and burn on you!

To clarify the U.S. Navy term mentioned in another definition, it specifically referred to the
ship's shafts/screws 'turning' and the boilers 'burning' and the phrase is in fact used (even though there aren't many steam-powered ships left) to indicate working hard, and steady
momentum.
