Tegenhanger

an existential double of a living person;

like doppelgänger, but in existence not appearance;

a person who is uncannily similar in terms of interest, behaviour and existence in general to you, to the point where it's scary but somehow epic simultaneously.

origin - Dutch translation of "counterpart"

DUDE! I Just spoke to this guy/girl, he's/she's exactly like me!

like a doppelgänger?

No, even better, a tegenhanger. Looks very different, but thinks and behaves exactly the same!

teenanger

The ages 13-19, the 'infancy of adulthood' when physical beauty and rude animal health ironically combine with lack of resources, power and wordly wisdom to create an individual of towering self-loathing and monstrous hostility.

Pity the teenanger and remember what it was like to have the metabolism and beauty of a god, the pocketbook of a pauper, the political power of a field slave and the wisdom of a cretin.

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!
