Take this back a tac

Coin phrasing for stepping back and evaluating a situation.

"Sir, before you full steam this boat, consider taking this back a tac. At full speed the damage will be terminal!"

After careful consideration, the editor decided to ask the proposal writer to take things back a tac when character amounts were on overload.

"B, I know you're realin' but, take this back a tac! There may be more happening here than subject realization. A phone call would have sufficed. IDK, . . .Maybe even hittin' up some shows or game day. I don't know whether to hug em or find a 5lb fresh water fish while screaming 'flopadop,' for going overboard. Whenever y'all figure it out, Lemme know!"

Jody: If you love her man, take this back a tac. Tell her! She didn't know about it and that's not fare to any of you. You need BFA? Tell her!

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!
