cut myself out of my shoes

When one is so drunk he/she can't untie their shoes but can manage to find a knife and cut himself/herself out of them.

Coined by the band Audacity in a Victim of Time interview in Chicago 2014, "Two or three days ago we were in Iowa City and we were pretty drunk and Matty was the last one up and he had to cut his shoes off with a knife. He woke up and said “I was so drunk last night I had to cut myself out of my shoes” and I thought it was a figure of speech or something like that."
