Bubbe call

A health and welfare phone call between friends, flat mates, or relatives, named for Bubbe (Yiddish word for grandmother), that is a play on the term booty call.

1. Have fun on your booty call tonight, but send me a text when you're back home. If I don't hear from you by noon tomorrow, I'm giving you a Bubbe call! Gotta make sure you're not dead in a ditch on the side of the road!

2. This is your 12 noon Bubbe call. Since you answered, I'll assume you're not dead in a ditch on the side of the road, yes?

3. I just saw your tweet that you're home sick today. This is a Bubbe call; do you need me to bring over some soup for you?

bubble call

Spontaneous evening summons to drink champagne with the bottle holder who extended the initial invitation. First made from a hotel lobby in central London, though location can be subject to variation. Not to be confused with a booty call, as the offer can be extended to platonic friends, though the two share some common characteristics. Namely the impromptu nature of the invitation, usually given late at night.

"I'm at a hotel in London with a free bottle of Veuve Clicquot that I cannot bring back in my hand luggage tomorrow. Anyone up for helping me finish it? No, it's not a booty call. Just a bubble call."

I mean I guess bro

a word of expression to when you give up on comprehending someone's words of ignorance, stupidity, absurdity or are too exhausted to formulate a proper response.

Commonly seen in TikTok comment sections in replies to lazy attempts at humor, overconfidentally incorrect statement, or an over-the-top comment or when someone completely misses the mark on something.

"actually... incorrect statement, hope this helps!"

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!
