donkey on a waffle 

To engage in work at your own pace while giving the impression of assigning it the highest of priorities. Due to the vague nature of the statement, once the true meaning is discovered, it is neither questioned nor criticized.

(First regained popularity as a phrase in the IT industry around late 1999 - early 2000.)
"I'll be all over getting these reports done like a donkey on a waffle!"

all over it like a donkey on a waffle 

To make an act one's top priority, much like scarfing free breakfast would be for a donkey, were it confronted by an unattended waffle. Usage of the phrase implies some amount of immediacy or urgency to the performance of the act.
Boss: Can you get that done by noon?
You: I'm all over it like a donkey on a waffle.
Boss: Hell yeah.

All over it like a donkey on a waffle 

To be completely on top of something, much as a donkey, when standing over a waffle, covers it entirely.

abandonware 

n. software that is no longer sold or supported by the original publisher / developer, often found as free downloads on the internet because it cannot be obtained elsewhere. Not legal, but often seen as morally acceptable because the company that made it is no longer selling the title, nor releasing it as freeware, therefore abandonware is "keeping the game alive", so to speak.
Doom II is not abandonware because id still sells it, while The Incredible Machine is not sold, therefore is abandonware.

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).
