Holmesburg 

A small subsection of Northeast Philadelphia with some crazy ass history, largely due to the prison. Not a poor area, but not a rich one. Close to center city & close to the burbs. Heavily overlooked by Mayfair. Holmesburg is the lowkey, middle child of Northeast Philly & home to America’s oldest bridge.

You either go to Lincoln, Judge, NFCHS, hit up Al’s deli, take the 66, or the 84 & fuck with Mayfair kids who think you’re from Mayfair because they don’t know where Holmesburg is.
Philadelphian: Where you from?

Other Philadelphian: Holmesburg.

Philadelphian: Where the hell is that? OR

Like the prison?

Other Philadelphian...Mayfair.

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!
