Generation Sigma 

Generation Sigma is a new name for what was previously known as Generation Alpha (traditionally, those born between 2010 and 2025). At the very least, Generation Sigma defines a micro-generation of people born between 2007 and 2013(ish).

The global pandemic significantly changed the life experience of today’s teens and tweens, in ways we don’t yet understand. The research on the pandemic’s effects on young people today is only just now beginning, and we have much more to learn.

Regardless, these young people went home from school in March 2020, leaving 1st through 7th grade, ages 7 – 13, not knowing what to expect. For them—yes for all of us, but for them, in their formative elementary and secondary school years, the entire world changed. Today, they are ages 11 – 17, going into 6th through 12th grade.

This group of young people, born 2007 to 2013, may be our newest generation, or micro generation. And what better name than to call them the ultimate of ultimate praise, according to their slang of today, and to stick with the Greek alphabet tradition, then to call this group Generation Sigma?

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!
