Petrocon 

A secretive meeting of important people to plan a revolt or change.

Origin - In 2003, a group of people called 'HELP EARTH' were using violent ways to save the environment. They planned on taking down the oil buisnesses. A Petrocon was then held in April to try to find a way to stop 'HELP EARTH'.
Example 1- Me and my friends held a Petrocon to try and stop the robbers from getting inside the house.
Example 2 (from the origin above)- Leaders of the oil buisness held a Petrocon to try and stop 'HELP EARTH'.

petrocollapse 

Petrocollape: the collapse of the petroleum-based economy and infrastructure, caused by unbearably high oil prices and crippling shortage. Causes include the global peak in crude oil extraction ("peak oil"), a major and sudden geopolitical event in the Persian Gulf region, the unsustainable growth of the corporate economy and unhealthful consumerism. Context: there is no technological fix for fully replacing petroleum (oil and natural gas) with other fuels or processes because of the unique and multifacted aspects of petroleum which has been so cheap in cost and return on energy invested. Agriculture even more so that transportation is very petroleum intensive, a problem that cannot be solved for a huge, petroleum-dependent population. Alternative approaches such as permaculture and community economics have been suggested.
Petrocollapse has only just started to hit the planet, but Cuba already endured a kind of petrocollapse with the loss of Soviet oil after the break up of the Soviet Union. Cuba's special period in the early 1990s without much oil required a restructuring of society toward urban organic gardening and farming, much more bicycling, and decentralized solar energy. The film "The Power of Community: How Cuba Survived Peak Oil" by Community Solutions tells the history and shares what the Cuban people learned and how they benefited from the changes.

petracon 

A Petracon is a person who lacks coordination, a sense of style, and is often times very geeky, nerdy, and/or dorky. Hiking your pants above your waist, calling shoes sneakers, wearing a Fannie pack, and being socially awkward are just a few of the many characteristics of your neighborhood Petracon. Odds are, most petracons aren't aware, or simply don't care that they are this way.
Look at that petracon walking like a dinosaur and looking like Napoleon Dynamite. I doubt he's ever been laid.

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!
