Biomechanical Zoom 

A method of framing a photography subject by aiming the camera then stepping forward or back.

Biomechanics studies people movement, because if they're not moving, they are dead.

Diagrammatical Biomechanics 

A term coined by exercise scientist Dr Mike Israetel in relation to poorly designed exercise equipment.

"I made up a term uh back back a few years ago when I was debating some biomechanics folks called
diagrammatical biomechanics where you looked at some diagrams and you're like 'Ehhh... this must be how the human body works!' and you made a machine only on that."
"You tried that machine over there?"
"It fucking sucks, the creators were probably on some diagrammatical biomechanics bullshit."

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!
