Defeat; disappointment mixed with acceptance. It is a cute way to express sadness after something unfortunate happens. Word is Japanese in origin.

Nyoro~n originated in a spinoff comic strip called "Nyoron☆Churuya-san" by Utsura Urarak, based on the character of Tsuruya from the anime "The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya". The strip was later expanded into 13 two-minute episodes which are available on youtube by searching "Nyoro~n Churuya-san"; Watching one of these episodes is the best way to understand, through context, what the word means.

Nyoro~n is said in a cute, sad tone of voice after something unfortunate happens. The character who says it is a cute little girl who constantly fails to achieve what she sets out to do (often her goal is to get some smoked cheese).

People who use this word are probably either fans of the Haruhi series and its spinoff, or trying to look really cute, or both.

You (realizing they are right): Nyoro~n...

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!
