shopping window

The time period during which a guy is actually engaged in the shopping experience. This period can last from almost no time at all to literally hours for a metrosexual, and includes all forms of shopping, from the grocery store to designer boutiques. It should also be noted that this period can be increased through witty girl techniques such as handing a guy a blackberry loaded with brickbreaker to play or sitting him in front of a couch with sportscenter.

"Dude, I am totally down to go try on a few pairs of jeans right now, but I am letting you know that my shopping window is only about 45 minutes today.

The above definition is right... I love brick breaker.

Example of extending the shopping window:
Guy:"Okay honey im done, lets g-"
Girl hands guy brick breaker
Guy:"I guess I could stay a little longer"

Windows shopping

Spending an inordinate amount of time viewing page after page of an item, say shoes, on multiple websites.

I was Windows shopping for almost 3 hours this morning....I looked at almost 4000 pairs of shoes and didn't buy shit.

Windows Shopping

When a person goes to online websites like eBay or Amazon.com to look at things they have no intention of purchasing. The electronic form of window shopping.

Jane went on eBay to look at expensive diamond earrings that she would never be able to afford, so she was Windows shopping.

Widow shopping

When you've been married so long that you've transitioned from being worried about your spouse when they're late getting home to fantasizing what you'd do with the insurance money.

Anna waited an hour before putting the oven on low to keep dinner warm for Bob, then logged onto Zillow to Do some Widow shopping for vacation homes she buy with his life insurance money.
