 Re: turn down a glass
In memory of a drinking companion who has passed away, it is customary to turn down (= turn upside down) a glass (representing his/hers) on the table the next time you go drinking, and pause a moment to remember him/her.
Thus, 'turn down a glass' = stop for a moment of thought.
