J Michael Tatum 

John Michael Tatum born May 25, 1976 in McKinney, Texas is an American voice actor, ADR director, and script writer at Funimation who voices for a number of English versions of anime series, and video games.

He has played many different characters to name a few of his characters constantly mentioned in panels are Rintaro Okabe in Steins;Gate, Rikichi in Samurai 7, Kyoya Ootori in Ouran High School Host Club, Sebastian Michaelis in Black Butler and France in Hetalia: Axis Powers.

Numerous times, he has expressed his deep love for anime, Doctor Who, Vincent Price, and William Shakespeare. If you have seen any anime he has worked on and seen a panel that he has been in on YouTube or something like that, you would know he has some interesting stories and is very funny and down to earth. The list of all his works is too long so I suggest you go to wikipedia to find out if he's been the voice in your favorite anime or anime video games.

I mean I guess bro

a word of expression to when you give up on comprehending someone's words of ignorance, stupidity, absurdity or are too exhausted to formulate a proper response.

Commonly seen in TikTok comment sections in replies to lazy attempts at humor, overconfidentally incorrect statement, or an over-the-top comment or when someone completely misses the mark on something.
"actually... incorrect statement, hope this helps!"

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).
