Aruba Syndrome

The inability to fully enjoy a vacation or scenic destination due to the absence of one's significant other. Commonly experienced by individuals who are in love.

"While on vacation alone, my hotel gave me a free upgrade to its best honeymoon suite with a full ocean view. Although it was beautiful, I couldn't truly enjoy it; instead, I only missed my boyfriend that much more. It was a classic case of Aruba Syndrome."

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!
