a big word to put inplace of something much more simple. Like disadvantage...someone decided to add three letters just so they would seem more intelligent on there paper or homework assignment, and now it's a word

1. Getting robbed by Microsoft. Paying 599 EUR for the retail version of Windows Vista Ultimate, 460 EUR for the hardware upgrades needed to use it and getting that lovely "This copy of Microsoft Windows(R) is not genuine." box after two weeks' use. How come the users who actually pay for their software suffer from the antipiracy campaign while the users with warez versions have no problems at all?
2. Having to waste lots of time to view the FBI warnings every time one starts to play a genuine DVD while the pirated versions usually omit these warnings or at least have no limits on using fast forward to skip them.
3. The compatibility problems associated with protected audio CD's. While the consumers buying genuine versions have to cope with these problems, the others using pirated versions with no copy protection or downloading MP3's and burning CD's themselves are not affected. An extreme example was the Sony rootkit scam.
4. The annoying tendency of some games to require that the game CD-ROM is present every time the game is started/played even if the game is fully installed on the hard drive. Again, the pirated versions often come with a patch which disables the CD check, thus creating a more pleasant gaming experience.

Person 1: 'I actually paid Microsoft 599 euros for this piece of crap and now it says it's not genuine'
Person 2: 'That's just unfair'
Person 3: 'But that's just Microsoft's Genuine Disadvantage'

When your friend tells you he's going to a sporting event but refers to it by the visiting team. One who has homefield disadvantage does this because he/she has to be cocky in making it clear that he/she is a fan of the visitors.
"What are you doing tonight?"
"Going to the Celtics game"
"Are you flying to Boston? The Nuggets play here, tool. You clearly have homefield disadvantage"

aka. D.F.R.D.E. A major social problem where people with disabilities often have a harder time getting into and maintaining romantic relationships compared to the average person. This happens for various reasons including that people with disabilities often have a harder time recognizing social cues that indicate someone likes them romantically due to lack of experience and the fact they are not taught about how recognize romantic cues from their parents, teachers, and friends, people assume that people with disabilities are not able to fulfill their expectations for romantic partners, and in school settings, they are often taught separately from kids who don't have disabilities, which prevents them from making friends who don't have disabilities who could teach them more about how to get into and maintain romantic relationships.
The disability facilitated romantic disadvantage effect is an issue where people with disabilities have a harder time getting into and maintaining romantic relationships compared to the average person. The best way to correct this problem is to remind people of all the things these people are capable of doing just as well as the average person. It is very unfortunate this issue is still very prevalent.
