Travel between star systems - which may someday be do-able but given that even our closest star is 4.6 light years away it is something that will require technology and resources that we can only dream of by today's standards.
It is also a very big subject in science fiction; the rapid transit between star systems by faster-than-light travel; Star Trek, Star Wars, and Mass Effect are examples.

While Voyager 1 is technically making interstellar travel, at the rate it is going, it will take more than 72,000 years from now to do so.

(slang) - To be stuck at a university because your grades are too low for any desirable school to want to take you as a transfer student. Not to be confused with flunking out, since you are still at the school. However, many students who flunk in eventually flunk out, and most students who have flunked out flunked in first.
With a 1.75 GPA and not liking the environment he was in, Louis applied to a few other schools he wanted to transfer to. Since he was rejected from all of them, it's a safe bet he's flunked in.

A movie so horrible that not only was it a critical and box office epic fail, but its producer, Franchise Pictures, was convicted in court over it due to a scam in which the film's budget was overstated. Not to mention an indelible scar in John Travolta's career. And cult status for the movie in the future? HAAAAAAAAAAAH!

A dismal Major League Baseball team that despite a move from Montreal, still hasn't gotten over the 1994 baseball strike.
Given that the Nationals (then Expos) went 74-40 in 1994 and were tied for the best record in baseball before the strike, the loss of morale led to season after season of dismay.
