Americanglish 

uh-mer-i-kang-lish - noun

A term to describe a slang language based on English, originating out of the United States, which combines all American slang, for example, Valley Girl, Ubonics, Redneckesse, Phillitalian and others in a jumbled mesh of uneducated inept noises and incompleted thought processes.

Consisting of more repeated swear words than any other language, Amercanglish words usually only consist of one or two syllables, however, words containing three or more syllables are generally repeated constantly in incorrect context.
The basis of these words assist in the formation of incomplete sentences accompanied with informal interjections, (i.e. Like), awkward, improper combinations of words, (i.e. Nawmean?), mispronounced words, (i.e. "Dat' for "that") erroneous words with double negatives, (i.e. irregargless) improper contractions, and a multitude of unintentional malapropism (an act or habit of misusing words ridiculously).

Americanglish is normally used by people who pretentiously choose to sound ignorant or stupid, because to them intellect and proper English is like totally elitist and shit.

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.

Foot prisons 

Socks. Annoying, sweat-causing, non-barefoot enducing, everyday socks.
The first thing I do when I take off my shoes, is rip off the foot prisons I had to wear inside them. That's why I prefer flip flops, even in winter!
