Noughteens 

The decade after the Noughties, but before the 2020's

People talk about the 70s, 80s, 90s & noughties, but people often glaze over mentally when they cannot properly describe the 10 years after the noughties.
Sam: How long have you known that female superstar DJ bruv? Do you go way back?
James: Ages mate. Well not since 1990longtime, but well, we met sometime in the mid noughteens bruv. So, like 10 years now....

the noughties 

Disappointing sequel to the nineties and preview of how bad the 21st century was going to be.
The noughties was when 9/11, the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan and the 2008 recession happened. What an awful decade! Thank God it's over.

Noughties 

A game you can play with your Sky remote.

You may have noticed, if you press the '0' button on your remote it will appear, as if you intend to change the channel for approximately 10 seconds before disappearing.
If you press the '0' button four times in a row, a red error message will occur that reads 'Channel Unavailable'.
Well, in the art of Noughties, the aim is to make this message occur in the longest time possible, i.e. wait as long as possible before pressing the next '0' without the previous '0' disappearing and continue this until the message occurs.

The maximum possible time is 30 seconds.
Guy 1: Mann this shit is boring, why are we even watching it?
Guy 2: I dunno.. fancy a game of Noughties?
Guy 1: Ok, i'll time you!

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!

cornholio 

Ruler of Lake Titicaca. Rumored to have a bunghole that gets very angry if it does not receive toilet paper. Cornholio the Great is often seen walking around with his shirt over his head and his hands in the air, chanting songs about his power, and his bunghole.
"I am Cornholio! You do not want to face the wrath of my bunghole, for I need TP!"
Butthead: Shut up, Beavis! (uh huh huh huh)
Beavis: Um, okay. (heh heh heh heh).
