spin the big chair 

To spend late evenings in a cosy cafe or coffeehouse with ambient music--notably adult alternative music. From the lyrics of Snow Patrol's 2007 song "Shut Your Eyes," a tune that epitomizes the mellow, late-night vibe.
On Monday night I often 'spin the big chair' at a local cybercafe.

His wallets big enough to hurt his spine

Humorous way to describe someone who is excessively rich and/or wealthy. Providing a humorous twist on the medical condition known as fat wallet syndrome or 'Wallet Neuritis'. Which is caused by sitting on a thick wallet which creates an uneven wedge under one side of your pelvis leading to spinal misalignment.
"Look at him, his wallets big enough to hurt his spine"

abandonware 

n. software that is no longer sold or supported by the original publisher / developer, often found as free downloads on the internet because it cannot be obtained elsewhere. Not legal, but often seen as morally acceptable because the company that made it is no longer selling the title, nor releasing it as freeware, therefore abandonware is "keeping the game alive", so to speak.
Doom II is not abandonware because id still sells it, while The Incredible Machine is not sold, therefore is abandonware.

Foot prisons 

Socks. Annoying, sweat-causing, non-barefoot enducing, everyday socks.
The first thing I do when I take off my shoes, is rip off the foot prisons I had to wear inside them. That's why I prefer flip flops, even in winter!

cornholio 

Ruler of Lake Titicaca. Rumored to have a bunghole that gets very angry if it does not receive toilet paper. Cornholio the Great is often seen walking around with his shirt over his head and his hands in the air, chanting songs about his power, and his bunghole.
"I am Cornholio! You do not want to face the wrath of my bunghole, for I need TP!"
Butthead: Shut up, Beavis! (uh huh huh huh)
Beavis: Um, okay. (heh heh heh heh).

In a movie, when the music is syncronized perfectly with the action, just like a mickey mouse cartoon.
