retrotech 

Like steampunk, but better. Victorian-era technology used to make crazy-ass shit, like the spider robot in Wild Wild West or Alan Moore's Tom Strong. A spaceship with lots of huge cogwheels and valves and pistons and things.
I really want to see a proper CG movie with decent retrotech spaceships

RetroChique 

Something classic or old without being old fashioned. Also it has to be something special. Its actually the opposite of Bling Bling yet it's used to describe something extremely cool.
DudeOne: i got this thing its like the beginning of a new world era and it smells great to.
DudeTwo:Woh you can actually start a religion with that its like RetroChique and all.

Retrotechno

The love of vintage technology and retro visions of the future, most commonly from the mid to late 1900's with special focus on the 80's and early 90's.

Humerously cumbersome, oddly obsolete, or completely pointless and time consuming to use, these devices were often hailed in their time as being modern and futuristic while in retrospect seeming like a large waste of time.

Most often seen (and celebrated) in older movies dealing with cutting edge (for their time) technology, or Futuristic devices.
Johnny's cellphone was ringing, he reached to the back seat of his Delorean for the handy briefcase weighing only 14 lbs, the latest in portable technology and completely Retrotechno!

retrofecalion 

the piece of shit that comes back after you thought you flushed it... and makes you wait until the tank is full again for another try (not to be confused with stagnofecalia, which see...)
I couldn't rush out of the bathroom because I saw there was a retrofecalion left in the john, so I had to flush it again.
