lampbane commented on the word hammerspace
The place where Bugs Bunny and many anime characters keep their hammers. Like the Bag of Holding in Dungeons and Dragons.
Also, the place where the immortals on Highlander carry their swords when they wear flappy trenchcoats that wave in the breeze (defeating the point of wearing a trenchcoat to hide their sword).
