Enforced Obsolescence

A more heavy-handed version of Planned Obsolescence usually employed in the high-tech industry, especially software. Consumers of a product are forced to upgrade through some new technology rendering an old one literally unusable, usually through unnecessary incompatibility issues.

Porting a game from the 360 to the PC, rewritten to require DX10 when DX9 was used originally and clearly runs the game, can only be Enforced Obsolescence.

Orioles magic

The tendency of the Baltimore Orioles baseball team to blow clutch situations on a fairly regular basis. This could include an O's pitcher giving up a homerun in the 9th to lose the game or simply stranding 10 baserunners. Use your imagination.

A play on the current Orioles slogan.

Bases loaded for the Chicago White Sox, Orioles lead 7-4. LaTroy Hawkins throws up a meatball to Jim Thome and he jacks it to deep left. Going... going... gone.

God dammit, there's that Orioles magic for you.

obsolation

1. The nature of becoming obsolete.
2. The sound a duck makes when you beat it with a baseball bat.

The nuclear power plant led to the obsolation of the old tire burning plant. The old tire burning plant led the obsolation drive on peasant oppression. While dominating any multi-player game, bonus points will be awarded for yelling "Obsolation!" after each victory...

Obsolete Avoidance

The act of putting off buying a current product knowing that a new model or updated version will be released in the near future.

Example 1:

Guy 1: "Hey, I've just bought myself an Iphone 4s!".

Guy 2: "I think i'm going to use Obsolete Avoidance and wait for the Iphone 5".
