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.

A portmanteau of "stuck" and "vacation," referring to an involuntary stay at home resembling a vacation in some aspects. This situation typically arises due to external circumstances beyond one's control, such as inclement weather, global pandemics, or transportation strikes, where individuals are confined to their homes. Despite the restriction, the experience is somewhat leisurely or vacation-like, often involving activities not typically partaken in during regular home life, such as indulging in hobbies, binge-watching, or creative home projects.
