Galoshing 

Since galoshes were only made during the 1940's, no new pairs of galoshes have been made. Since old people never used or even remembered that they even had galoshes to begin with, they remain unopened and untouched in their closets. Galoshes are then put into stores after extricating the galoshes from said old person's closet. This action is known as galoshing and is best when the old person is recently deceased and the family is still in mourning.
Matt: I'm going galoshing today. Can I count on you to distract the mourners?

Tom: Sure. It's not everyday that their Uncle Fred dies of a terrible rabid dog accident.

Matt: Excellent. I'll be sure to grab the galoshes in a timely manner.

Tom: Well hurry up, I'm about to diarate on Aunt Sally's face now.
