Hellective 

Any course but especially a college elective course thought to be "fluff" an easy A...however it turns out to be harder than hell and the student barely passes the course or has to drop it or suffer consequences.
Student 1: Dude, I signed up from Speedeli's basket weaving class.

Student 2: No way!! Speedeli makes you spend three weeks hiking the Appalacian trail looking for raw materials with your bare hands. That class it unreal...totally hellective. You better drop it now while you have a chance.

Another example:

Kelly lost her 4.0 GPA after taking an hellective sculpture class taught by Mr. Biggums.

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!
