Do the needful 

The person uttering the phrase has indicated to the listener that they have decided the issue being discussed is not their problem. They don't care how it is solved, but know they will not be involved in solving it.
The network connection is failing sporadically only when going through this particular router, but I have checked it's logs and see no errors. It is not a problem with my network, but with your software. Do the needful and fix this issue (and spend many, many hours gathering additional data to prove beyond any doubt it is the router).

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).

mickey mousing

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