Incepotism 

Combination of 'incest' and 'nepotism.' Separately these words either mean 'having a physical relationship with a family member' or 'giving preference in the work force to family members.' By combining the two we now have what is known as Incepotism- Two persons that are closely related, becoming just a little too close to each other. It could be anything from step-siblings always bumping into each other as one is leaving the bathroom in a towel immediately after showering, or two sister-in-laws frequently grabbing a drink at that lesbian bar just down the street from the softball diamond. Incepotism leads to incest, it's like stage 1 of cancer. . . . it can get worse.
Carlos: Hey Juan, did our wives join that softball team because they're trying to lose weight?
Juan: Yeah I don't know man, it would make sense because they have been spending a lot of time together at hot yoga. Aunt Jackie said something about incepotism, but I don't speak Latin.

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!

cornholio 

Ruler of Lake Titicaca. Rumored to have a bunghole that gets very angry if it does not receive toilet paper. Cornholio the Great is often seen walking around with his shirt over his head and his hands in the air, chanting songs about his power, and his bunghole.
"I am Cornholio! You do not want to face the wrath of my bunghole, for I need TP!"
Butthead: Shut up, Beavis! (uh huh huh huh)
Beavis: Um, okay. (heh heh heh heh).
