i'll be darned 

Being surprised.

Something you couldn't/didn't think of.

Something you can't agree on.

This phrase was first started by southern Africans at the time of 17th century. People usually use it now when they see something that they thought was impossible, has been done. Or sometimes it can be used in a manner of not agreeing to something, in case of apologizing etc.

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!
