Sweet Canning 

When latency in a multiplier game causes a player to "skip" from one point in the map/game to another.

The phrase was originally a reference to an episode of The Simpsons, where the TV Show "Rock Bottom" aired a segment on Homer Simpson. The segment included a video which was edited to skip back and fourth, such that Homer made out the words "sweet can".
*Player two skipped from inside the factory to outside due to connection issues*
Player 1: "Ha, player two is sweet canning"

sweetcanning 

Verb. The act of editing video footage of a person, especially an interview, to completely change the meaning of what they were saying or doing in order to falsely depict them in a negative light. Based on the Simpsons episode "Homer Badman" where Homer Simpson is falsely accused of sexual harassment, is interviewed by an investigative journalist who then proceeds to heavily edit the footage to make it seem like he want to grab her "sweet can".
A: Did you see that interview with professor Whateverington? The interviewer totally pwned him!
B: Dude, that interview was a sweetcanning. You saw five minutes, they had recorded a full hour. They actually took answers to some questions and edited it to make them answers to other questions. Professor Whateverington actually has the full footage and published it, you can see for yourself.
n. A screenshot fabricated by a company to misrepresent the graphics of a game; a combination of the words bullshit and screenshot.

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.
