Stuckware 

An alternative and arguably catchier way of saying "Potentially Unwanted Programs" or PUPs. This refers to software which intentionally makes itself difficult to remove entirely, often the only way to truly get rid of it is to reinstall your entire operating system. Although mainly used to refer to software downloaded in bundles from fake download buttons, invasive DRM platforms from large software corporations such as Adobe and Autodesk also fall under the term.

megatagging 

a form of spam, when someone (typically on discord) attempts to notify as many people as they can by manually pinging them individually in a long chain
mod: "how'd they ping everyone? double checked all the roles and there's no way they had perms"
user: "nerd was megatagging everyone by hand, this guy needs a life"

Annoyingcase 

A style of capitalization often used by people way too young to be using the internet, where the first letter of every word is capitalized. It is named after how annoying kids can be in online spaces, as well as how much anything written in annoyingcase hurts to read, as if every word is the start of a new sentence.
