Pretextator

An unknown or unproven writer who takes control of a beloved, established intellectual property (IP) merely as a "pretext" or mask to tell their own completely unrelated story. Driven by arrogance, a pretextator believes their personal vision is superior to the original masterpiece, using the franchise's famous name solely to guarantee a budget and an audience they could never get on their own.
Fan A: "The characters in this new sci-fi sequel don't act anything like they did in the original movies. It feels like a completely different show."Fan B: "That's because the studio hired a pretextator. They just slapped the franchise name on their own random script to force people to watch it."

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!
