The Shoe Event Horizon is an economic theory that draws a correlation between the level of economic (and emotional) depression of a society and the number of shoe shops the society has.
The theory is summarized as such: as a society sinks into depression, the people of the society need to cheer themselves up by buying themselves gifts. This is usually done through the purchase of shoes. As more money is spent on shoes, more shoe shops are built, and the quality of the shoes begins to diminish. This makes people buy more shoes.
The above turns into a vicious cycle, the end result being that other industries begin to falter.
Eventually the titular Shoe Event Horizon is reached, where the only type of store economically viable to build is a shoe shop. At this point, society ceases to function, and the economy collapses, sending a world into ruin.

The population of the planet Brontitall was forced to evolve into bird-like creatures in order to survive the result of the shoe event horizon.

Flaccid penis + stubborn butthole + a thumb = Cincinnati Shoehorn.
1. the act of using one's thumb to assist in the insertion of a flaccid penis into a butthole.
2. East Portland Hipper than You-ing, except with a flaccid penis and a willing, non-hipster partner.

James: Hey man, how was your night?
Paul: Well I had a little whiskey dick, so I had to start off with the Cincinnati Shoe Horn, but it got the job done.
James: Gross man.

A code used by strangers in public places, that means "I WANT YOU." The most common place for this phrase to be used is in a crowded restaurant. The phrase is whispered in order to let the other person know that it has a hidden meaning.
Waiter to customer: *whispering*: Your shoes are untied. *wink*
Joe: Dude, that girl's shoes are untied...
Harry: WOAH man, for realz!
