To await an event that is expected to happen, due to being causally linked to another event that has already been observed. Gets its origin from the joke in the example.
A guest who checked into an inn one night was warned to be quiet because the guest in the room next to his was a light sleeper. As he undressed for bed, he dropped one shoe, which, sure enough, awakened the other guest. He managed to get the other shoe off in silence, and got into bed. An hour later, he heard a pounding on the wall and a shout: "When are you going to drop the other shoe?" Thus the term "waiting for the other shoe to drop."

About as cool as a person can possibly be, sort of like James Dean or someone like that, but even cooler. Possibly originated from SportsCenter. Has nothing to do with temperature.
I was as cool as the other side of the pillow back in high school. I used to sit in the back of the class in my leather Harley Davidson jacket and sunglasses, smoking my Marlboro Reds and drinking whiskey out of a silver flask. I'd just sit back there, all laid back across the seat, with my arms around the two hottest girls in the school. The teacher would tell me to put my cigarette out and stop drinking, and I would blow smoke in her face and say, "Make me." But she wouldn't make me because I was just too cool.
No, not really, actually I was a fucking dork who watched Star Trek marathons and still haven't lost my virginity except for my dog that one time.
No, just kidding again, I was pretty normal, but I always used to look at the other side of the pillow and wished that someday I could be that cool. Sadly, it never happened.

See you again after a major objective has been achieved.
This phrase may originate with the Apollo 8 mission, the first time in history humans had passed behind the other side of the moon from earth.

CapCom Gerry Carr spoke to the three astronauts more than 200,000 miles away, "Ten seconds to go. You are GO all the way." Command Module Pilot James Lovell replied, "We'll see you on the other side", and Apollo 8 disappeared behind the Moon, the first time in history men had been occulted. For 34 minutes there would be no way of knowing what happened.
