When you have issues with hearing and your ears, they are Earshoes, suggesting you are wearing shoes on your ears but really just have hearing issues and can't/haven't heard or have auditory processing difficulty. Example, Paul yells upstairs to Pete, 'Shit man, strewth it's straya'. Pete says (he heard), :the shit fan and spewed out every layer'. Paul knows Pete didn't hear right and tells Pete, 'you are wearing your ear shoes' and to 'take them off and to try again.'
Jo say to Bec"I didn't hear what you said',....my earshoes misheard and what was it that you said again?"
Oh those earshoes jo they are not your friend, always becoming a problem.
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 gamealive", so to speak.
Doom II is not abandonware because idstill sells it, while The Incredible Machine is not sold, therefore is abandonware.
