Frownstorm

An expression of extreme displeasure at a thing or happenstance that is unpleasant but otherwise unavoidable. Kind of like a brainstorm, but with all thoughts inwardly directed at the dislike of the situation. It may manifest itself in a broody attitude, fits of frowning, or other outwards signs of moodiness.

The unpleasant prospect of having to be visited by my relatives sent me into a frownstorm.

Brownstorming

A rapid, unfiltered ideation process akin to "throwing shit at the wall to see what sticks," where many ideas are generated with the expectation that only a few will be viable.

Our brainstorming session went south and turned into full-on brownstorming, with everyone tossing out random ideas just to see if anything would stick.

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!
