Capitalism with Indonesian Characteristics 

The unofficial de-facto economic system of Indonesia that punishes foreign businesses and companies that create jobs, and employment opportunities for Indonesians, and contribute substantial tax revenue to the government and by extension, the country's standard of living for doing certain things that offend the delicate sensibilities of the Indonesian people in areas wholly unrelated to the quality of the goods and services delivered by these companies.

i.e., releasing an advertisement that certain people believe looks similar to a conflict happening the middle east that may or may not actually be depicting said conflict, or a franchisee of a fast food chain completely separate from the franchisee in Indonesia donating free meals to the military of a middle eastern country in a conflict.
Makcik: Eh, Abang! You heard that McDonalds is giving free meals to the IDF? How dare they support GENOCIDE??! I think they forgot that under Capitalism with Indonesian Characteristics we can boycott their brands and cause thousands of Indonesians to lose their jobs, investments and lower our standard of living yet still believe we are doing shit to help Palestinians!!

Abang: Hahaha come on lets teach Ronald McDonald the imperialist what we Indonesians are made of!! Indonesia Boleh!!

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!
