stay classy 

A tongue-in-cheek ironic remark given to a person or group who says or does something overly offensive or classless.

Originated in the 2004 film "Anchorman" from Will Ferrell's sign-off: "Stay classy, San Diego". In the film, he meant it literally.
"The Haitian earthquake was caused by Haiti making a deal with the devil."- Pat Robertson

Stay Classy Carlsbad 

A small business, mainly sole-proprietorship "movement" that in protest and by parody operates using the same immoral, unproductive and underhanded techniques as the notoriously evil big business failures of the past (or even present, sadly). Especially those business practices leading to the economic collapse of 2008.

Furthermore it is a business that doesn't care whether or not it succeeds and in fact is trying to fail in order to become a tax shelter. It is characterized by its indifference or even antipathy toward success.
Owner of business: I am bummed

Friend: why is that?
Owner of business: well the business I set up as a tax shelter turned a profit because my employee died and the "dead peasant insurance" paid out huge, so now I have to actually pay taxes.

Friend: Stay Classy Carlsbad

I mean I guess bro

"actually... incorrect statement, hope this helps!"

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!
