Modern Talking

A Deutsch pop duo formed in 1983 that in 1985 gained success with hits such as "You're My Heart, You're My Soul", "Cheri Cheri Lady" and "Brother Louie". In 1998 after breaking up for 11 years they got back together and hired a black guy to rap for them and created updated versions of their old hits, later on creating new songs. They broke up for the last time in 2003. They are probably the most successful recording artist to never chart in America. Despite this, they are one of the most popular 80s artists on YouTube.

I can't believe this band called Modern Talking sold 120 million records without charting in America.

Modern Talking

A wavetable shape in the VST plugin "Massive" by Native Instruments that is typically found in dubstep. It is commonly used by people new do making dance music (and Nicky Romero) because it is a cheap way to get an amateur wobble sound. Because of this, it has become taboo to use it in dance music.

Guy 1: "Yo dude! Check this sick dubstep beat I made!"

Guy 2: "You used modern talking..."

Guy 1: "I know! Isn't it great!?

Guy 2: *facepalm*

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!
