futureshop!! 

A place that does not actually exist, but if it did would provide an immediate solution.

After a heavy dilema is presented, or a period of silence falls, it is appropriate to call out, "Quick! To the futureshop!!" The idea is that the solution will be within the futureshop!!

The two exclaimation points are totally required, even if it isn't the last word in the sentence.
Guy: Crap, I can't find my hat.
Guy2: Quick! To the futureshop!!

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!
