farnarkle 

Australian, verb: to waste time; to spend time in unnecessary and/or unproductive activities; to muck around; to faff about.

Derived from the late great comedian John Clarke's commentary on the obscure but magnificent (and totally nonexistent) sport of farnarkeling.
The leadership team as usual just farnarkled about for the whole strategic retreat, all they produced were some hangovers and a few irrelevant flip charts covered with sticky notes.

All you ever do is farnarkle. Will you just bloody well finish the dishes?

"In essence, Farnarkeling is engaged in by two teams whose purpose is to arkle, and to prevent the other team from arkeling, using a flukem to propel a gonad through sets of posts situated at random around the periphery of a grommet."

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.
