braineurysm 

An aneurysm of the brain so intense it affects its capacity to function on a mental level. Usually temporary, subsiding after time has passed, not unlike a brain fart

Hey, I just had a braineurism. Remember when we were talking about that thing earlier, you could do this and it'd be a lot easier.
braineurism by logikality November 7, 2011
A colloquial synonym for encephalocentrism or neurocentrism, often used pejoratively. Brainism treats the brain as the only relevant organ for understanding mind, reducing all mental phenomena to neural activity and dismissing psychological, social, or spiritual explanations as “folk.” It is common in pop‑neuroscience headlines (“This is your brain on politics”). Brainism ignores that brains develop in bodies, bodies in environments, and environments in cultures. It is a form of intellectual laziness that mistakes a necessary condition (you need a brain) for a sufficient explanation.
Brainism Example: “The brainist claimed that ‘poverty is a brain condition’ after reading one fMRI study. He ignored decades of economic and sociological research showing structural causes. Brainism as ideology.”

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!
