drinking from the firehose

to be overwhelmed (with information, work, etc.); to do something intensely; to be inundated

I'm still drinking from the firehose, learning all about working in this new world that I find myself in.

I've been drinking from the firehose this semester, trying to pass all these chemistry courses.

Drinking from the Firehose is being a part of Stan the man's classes where you get so much information in a short amount of time and lots of information leaks out.

I know that this is a lot of information, so I'm just letting you know. My class is a lot like drinking from the firehose: Lots of information so drink what you can.

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!
