pre-millennial psychic expectancy
A problem that plagued many adventure games in the computer gaming market during the 80's and early 90's, wherein the way in which one had to proceed was so ridiculously complicated and obtuse, you'd have to be psychic to know it on your own.
The game developers expected you to either be psychic, buy a guide book, or call one of their ridiculously priced tip lines to rack your parent's phone bill up the ass, just to get past one screen.
This is obviously no longer a problem in games today, given that the internet now makes it easy to find a walkthrough for pretty much any game.
Often results in frustrated pixelbitching

Person 1: "How's Simon the Sorcerer going dude?"
Person 2: "It's good, but some of the puzzles are ridiculous! One of them, I had to try and wear a dog, so that it would be magically transformed into a pair of Hush Puppies, to sneak past a guard. Good thing I found a walkthrough online, but talk about pre-millennial psychic expectancy!"

Toe Rag
A toe rag was originally a foot wrapping used, since mediaeval times up until the mid-nineteenth century, to protect the foot from chafing by boots or shoes. As these were, quite literally, rags they weren’t usually washed, and so with use they became very smelly until they were thrown away. Because of the similarity in smell, toe rag also became the name applied to dried, salted cod or other things with a strong, unpleasant, fishy smell. It didn’t take that long before the name was applied to someone who was an obnoxious, unpleasant OIC.
1 “Socks! Those aren’t socks you smelly git, they’re toe rags!”
2 “What have you been cooking? Smells like toe rag!”
3 “I can smell ‘er fanny from ‘ere, proper toe rag.”
4 That Heale Malcolm is a right toe rag.
