Helsinki Syndrome 

A mental condition where the afflicted person is unable to distinguish between the countries of Sweden and Finland, despite the two being distinct from each other. This condition is usually a symptom of a lack of general geographic awareness.

This condition usually manifests itself when the sufferer attempts to convey the concept of Stockholm syndrome to others.
From the news channel in Die Hard:
Gail Wallens: Dr. Hasseldorf, what can we expect in the next few hours?
Dr. Hasseldorf: Well, Gail, by this time the hostages should be going through the early stages of the Helsinki Syndrome.
Harvey Johnson: As in Helsinki, Sweden.
Dr. Hasseldorf: Finland.

From Top Gear:
Richard Hammond: I finally understand what they mean by that, is it Helsinki syndrome, when people are being kidnapped, when they're released, miss their kidnappers.

Helsinki Syndrome 

When a Scandinavian country holds an American president long enough so that they can become indoctrinated In into their Russian captors beliefs.
Today’s American president spent two hours with the Russian president and damn, he’s already corroborated. I thought the Helsinki Syndrome would take longer than this up north.

Helsinki Syndrome 

A condition that affects programmers at different rates, where they become functionally blind to the defects in legacy code they are required to work in regularly. The only known treatment is for the affected programmer to be required to explain the code to a new programmer. The embarrassment at not already having fixed the code causes a short period of clear thinking. However within a short time both programmers will suffer from the effects and it'll remain unchanged.
Sorry, I didn't realize how bad my Helsinki Syndrome was. Yes...Yes all the config is hard coded.

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.
