New Old Stock, or NOS for short, refers to retail items or products that are still technically brand new, but have never been sold for long periods of time. This is commonly due to newer and/or upgraded versions of the same product being released, rendering the older models obsolete. Thus, this makes them old stock. But because they're still technically brand new, unused, unsold products, they are termed "new old stock".
New old stock units are typically sold at a greatly reduced price, since most of the focus and attention is put onto selling the current models. Retailers and vendors will usually have various quantities of new old stock left over from the previous product generation cycle, and will sell them at reduced prices to clear them out in order to accommodate for newer models.

John: Whoa, got yourself a new tennis racket huh?
Brian: Yep, only cost $60.
John: Wow that's a steal! How'd you get it for so cheap?
Brian: New old stock. This particular racket model came out in 2014, so it's been replaced numerous times already with fancy newer models. I figured hey, it's still technically brand new anyway, and tennis racket technology hasn't really changed over the past few years, so why the heck not?

"Port-begging" is a term within the video game community that describes the act of requesting for a certain video game to be ported to another platform outside of the one it is currently available for.
Porting is the act of converting a video game that was designed to run on one specific platform, to run on another platform(s).
In most cases, this is usually an honest and innocent request from fans who own a particular gaming platform to have a game they fancy be brought over to their platform so that they and others may enjoy it. However, it may start to become annoying once they start displaying signs of desperation and/or whininess.
There have been some instances where port-begging actually resulted in success, the biggest example being Dark Souls. Members of the PC gaming community started an online petition to Bandai Namco, publisher of Dark Souls, to release the game for the PC. Their voices were heard, and to the PC the game went.

Man, don't you just hate it when people port-beg? Why don't they just shut up about it and just enjoy the games they have available to them...
I dunno man, Dark Souls got brought to the PC largely thanks to the port-begging. And look how popular it got. Besides, what's wrong with people asking for a game they're interested in be brought to their favorite platform? That way, more people get to enjoy a game.
That's not the part I have a problem with.It's when they get desperate and belligerent that it starts bothering me. It's unbecoming.

Spin-to-win refers to a fighting style that relies heavily on rapid spinning movements and rotations of the body, both to increase attack speed/coverage and to discourage enemies from getting too close. Due to its speed, mobility, safety, and effectiveness, it is often used excessively to great effect, hence the "win". This fighting style is often used in tandem with bladed weapons, to turn oneself into a slashing cyclone. Spin-to-win can either refer to a character who is famous/infamous for heavily employing this fighting style, or simply refer to the fighting style itself.
This fighting style is commonly portrayed in video games and fictional media, since its usefulness in real life is almost non-existent, due to the abnormally high amounts of dizziness it would cause.

A tongue-in-cheek phrase of referring to Google's search engine. Sensei is a Japanese word referring to a teacher, or someone that is skilled or masterful in something. Attaching it to Google depicts Google itself as a teacher/professor of vast knowledge in a comedic way.
