Bascially a professional badass, the Liam Neson's of the engineering world. These guys do the shit you can't, fix the shit you can't, and run the shit you can't. Typically paid over 100,000 a year, these are the people that keep your world running.
Oh you're an operating engineer, well I won't be needing these pants anymore.

Operating engineer 

Sup. We reshape the world. We run heavy equipment all day everyday. We cut and fill to grade to the hundredth of an inch with scrapers and dozers. Pick things up and set things down with cranes. Build highways and building pads. Put pipelines thru Indian reservations, think we give a fuck... We roll coal son. Caterpillar for life. Some scraper operators enjoy digging holes and swimming in them, along with a great appitite for grade stakes. If you get lost in the woods pound a grade stake in the ground and write C-1.5 and a scraper operator will be there shortly. If u mess with an operator he will dig a hole and put you in it. Known to be a sexual tyrannosaurus the operating engineers will stop at nothing till your fully satisfied or pass out. Most operating engineers are climate sensitive and enjoy the A/C in the summer and heated cabs in the winter. All while laughing at everybody else working outside in the shit. For some of us dirt haulers we are the slower version of Nascar. Just make big circles n chase the guy ahead of us. Topping out around 30mph the operating engineers life is a slow and daunting one.
Guy: Did you know sexual intercourse with an operating engineer will cure covid-19?

Guy2: bout 30 before I passed out, I was trying to keep up with a Wisconsin operating engineer. Lol

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!
