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.

Abandon All Ships

What happens when Tiesto, Basshunter and Armin Van Buuren ask Cher to join their new band, Emmure.

Actual members are:
Angelo Aita - screams/growls
Martin Broda - clean vocals
Sebastian Cassisi-Nunez - synths & keyboards
Daniel Ciccotelli - lead guitar
Chris Taylor - drums

Hailing from Toronto, currnetly signed to Rise. Music generally consists of auto-tuned choruses, gated/distorted screams, power chords and electronic breakdowns with arpeggiated synth leads. So far they've released 2 albums on Rise: Geeving (2010) and Infamous (2012).

Some good songs IMO: Megawacko 2.1, Take One Last Breath, Less Than Love, American Holocaust, Bro My God

Most people judge Abandon All Ships for their excessive use of auto-tune, "bad" screaming (they'd know) and techno-ish breakdowns, but i personally like their music.

abandonment spooge

drips of water that probably contain lead, asbestos, pigeon shit and a host of other horrors, that fall on your head while wandering around abandoned buildings.

I was heading to the admin and a drop of abandonment spooge went down the back of my shirt.

Abandonment Culture

In dysfunctional families, abandonment culture takes on many forms of abandoning family members rather than having a sense of compassion, love and responsibility for one another. Abandonment culture can also be a part of society as a whole, having no sense of social responsibility for people living in poverty, homelessness, etc...

"We dropped grandma off at the nursing home because she's getting old. We're keeping abandonment culture alive and well."
"Your brother is down on his luck and is facing homelessness? He can't live with us, keeping abandonment culture strong."
"You're about to turn 18, we have no sense of family so I have to kick you out now as abandonment culture is a part of this defective family."
"You're pregnant, don't expect me to be there for this child. I plan on establishing abandonment culture in this family immediately."

Abandon The Bun

When a diner or restaurant hamburger is too big to finish so you get rid of the bun and eat the beef.

Mike- Wow Chris this burger is huge, I can't even fit it in my mouth!
Chris- Hey dude i think you should abandon the bun.
