approxinym 

A word formed from the initial letters of the words in a series (as with an acronym), but with a slight deviation in the order or inclusion to form a more desirable word. The result is a word that approximately matches the series from which it was derived.
The Assistant Project Manager position was referred to with the approxinym AMP because Ben thought it sounded a lot cooler than however you would try to pronounce APM.

Approvaling 

The phenomena of Gen-Z saying everything like a question out of a subconscious need for approval.

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!
