The inherent discrimination of teenagers by the rest of the population. Commonly assumed to be mentally deficient, whiney, ungrateful, lazy, and other negative traits. Often incited by the age old perception that has been passed down through generations. Can be immensely frustrating for a teenager, as they are often spoken to condescendingly or treated as an inevitable criminal.
Note that this is not limited to adults discriminating against said teenagers. Teenagers can discriminate among their own age group, or adolescents slightly younger/older.
Example of teenism:
Arbitrary and whiney comments and facebook posts including but not limited to:
-I swear this is the most screwed up generation
-Any sentance starting with "kids these days"
Also observed in general conversation.

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!

Butthead: Shut up, Beavis! (uh huh huh huh)
Beavis: Um, okay. (heh heh heh heh).
