Keene Effect

The "Keene Effect" refers to a disturbing online phenomenon in which an individual becomes the target of relentless internet trolling and harassment by malicious individuals seeking to compromise their online presence and personal information. This campaign of trolling often involves distributing sensitive details, such as private documents, personal information, or pictures, through websites like Doxbin or other malicious platforms, leaving the victim vulnerable to various forms of harassment, cyberattacks, and even the infamous practice of "Pizza Bombing."

The term "Keene Effect" originated from a notorious online trolling incident that involved a person known as "Keene." The trolling campaign against Keene escalated to the point where the attackers not only engaged in typical trolling behaviors but also orchestrated "Pizza Bombing" by ordering numerous unwanted pizzas to their address without their consent or knowledge. This act caused significant inconvenience and discomfort to Keene, leading to the association of the term with similar malicious trolling efforts involving the distribution of personal information and the infamous pizza pranks.
Example 1:
Person A: "Did you hear about the poor guy who got hit with the Keene Effect?"
Person B: "Yeah, it's terrible! Those trolls went as far as ordering dozens of pizzas to his house. Just imagine how stressful that must have been."

Example 2:
Person A: "I've been extra careful about my online privacy after witnessing the Keene Effect happening to others."
Person B: "That's a smart move. Protecting your personal information is crucial these days."

Example 3:
Person A: "The Keene Effect is no joke. It can ruin someone's life and lead to real-world consequences."
Person B: "Exactly, online anonymity can embolden trolls to commit cruel acts without facing immediate repercussions."

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!
