Barker Esc 

(adj.) /ˈbɑ kə ɛsk/

A term used to describe a peculiar cultural archetype; the overly-performative liberal sissy who wears his virtue on his sleeve but somehow reeks of ironic alpha energy. A Barker Esc character often walks the tightrope between woke softness and bizarre masculine bravado, there’s a dash of cuck energy and deeply negative aura mixed with a strange dominance complex that nobody asked for. They might apologise for being white, then cut you off mid-sentence to explain why they actually understand oppression better. A "Barker esc" individual can also be described as a specific breed of liberal male who postures as sensitive, non progressive cuck whom which unsubtly radiates suppressed rage and kink-shame of a man who's been psychologically neutered by his own ideology. The Barker Esc persona is all performative empathy on the outside, but inside, there's a seething storm of cuckold fantasies and diesel-fume alpha envy.

Core traits:

Obsessive RAM/Hilux discourse (as identity, not utility)

Quiet cuckold energy with loud progressive slogans

Lowers his voice around blue-collar men, raises it around art students and women

diabolical manly alpha stench

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!
