Nerd Fail

A nerd fail occurs when someone with exceptionally well grades (in the 95%ish area) receives anything below 85% on an assignment, quiz, test or exam.
It isn't a fail through the eyes of their peers, but to them THEY FAILED!

1: gah ...im so upset i got 83% on my science test. i failed.
2: you should be happy 83% is really good, totally not a fail.
1: 83% is a very big nerd fail to me.

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!
