Punching down
How can I be punching down when you think the people I'm talking about are better than me? You are trying to turn this into a popularity contest because you know that I will lose and you are generalizing and decontextualizing everything I say.
A fucking retard "Uh, I don't like bullies, uuuuh... I'm definitely not doing it because the things he said apply to me and mean that I'm a retarded, morally bankrupt piece of shit uuhhh. Yeah, the thing."
Hym "It's about submission and it's about getting me to accept the bullshit you say regardless of whether or it's true. It can't be punching down if you think the people being punched are above me (conceptually). You think she is fucking the retard explicitly because the retard is better than me. You think I'm a bad man and that bad men are worse than women. How is that punching down to you? You cannot think the thing you are claiming to think. If being an assburger is a super power, how am I punching down? The only way for me to be punching down is for me to be better than everyone I'm punching."

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
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!
