The joy of thinking about probable future success-.
Jeff: "Dude, I had a dream in which I worked so hard that I got all the money"

Bezos: "Good that Nikhedonia isn't supporting our hyper capitalistic system in such a way that people dream about future materialistic glory through hard work and labor which in our monopolistic society is just a myth upheld by the upper class trying to get the most out of their laborers."

Jeff: "what"

Bezos: "Down with the bourgeoisie!! Long live the society of the proletarians!!!"

NIKHEDONIA

What do you get when you combine “Nike”—the Greek goddess of victory (and apparently, the patron saint of running shoes)—and “Hedone” the Greek word meaning “pleasure?” Nikhedonia, obviously.

This word means the feeling of excitement or elation that comes over you when you anticipate success.
For example, you’re playing a friendly game of Chess and suddenly realize the moves you need to make to checkmate your opponent. Or suppose you’re watching your favorite football team play a close game against their big rivals and at the end of the game you see they’re about to kick the winning field goal. That’s nikhedonia.

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!
