Nerd Speak [nerd] 

1. Language of nerds
2. Language spoken by nerds in reference to gaming, computers, math, etc.
Omg, I can't understand all this "nerd speak nerd".

nerdspeak 

The common language used between two or more 'nerds', 'geeks', 'the overly intelligent' etc. Most easily identified when the group is talking about a subject so vastly complicated, that when another person, who is not familiar with said subject, tries to join in the conversation, is hopelessly, completely and utterly lost in the void of ultimate ignorance. This word can also be used when one 'nerd', 'geek', or 'overly intelligent' individual is speaking out loud and to themsevles, usually without noticing what they are doing.
geek 1: Did you catch episode 356 last night?
g2: Yeah, I did.
g1: What did you think?
g2: Oh, I thought it was good over all but lacked the suspense shown in episode 355. Also, the griggin obviously stole the Jewel of Harld, otherwise how could Mayehj have Freeze Rayed that doulf without obtaining negative force damage?
g1: Hm, you make a good point. But the Freeze Ray has a special ability which allows any vireg to encase a doulf in the Icicle of Death without obataining negative force damage. This ability is able to activate without the Jewel of Harld beacause Mayehj had, in episode 274, been granted the Sceptar of Kawe from the Princess of Weque.
g2: Ah, now I understand.

Now imagin that conversation being carried out with a completely clueless individual sitting between geek 1 and geek 2. Thus, nerdspeak.

A small piece of information. Derived from the word ken, used often in the scottish language and is synonymous with knowledge.
Person 1: "Hey I don't get this shit. How do you solve this problem?"
Person 2: "I got that one. Give me some kenlets on this assignment and I'll help you w/ that one."

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!
