Kirbyism 

A Video Game terms relating to Game Design.

Kirbyism is a term coined by game developer, Masahiro Sakurai, who's behind the Kirby and Super Smash Brothers franchise. The term refers to a specific game design philosophy that Sakurai has when developing games, where he creates games that appeals to both those who may have never picked up a controller and those who have been playing video games their entire lives.
"Man, this fighting game is very simple in design, yet I can't help but feel as if there is a depth in terms of gameplay; therefore, it must've been designed with Kirbyism in mind."

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.

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!
