Describes an item that seems to have been ordered cheaply online, bearing only a thin, insubstantial resemblance to what it tries to be. Often ill-fitting, wrong-sized, or mismatched.
Chandler: That tactical camo wallet you got online looks very temuous, and you should feel bad.

Joey: Not bad for $7.99 + shipping, though, right?

Made up, fabricated. Something which sounds true but has no basis in fact or reality.

A casual lie, or rash claim easily proven to be false by a simple Google search. An ill informed claim might be said to be temious.
Etymology: From Latin temeritās (“chance, accident, rashness”) < temerē (“by chance, casually, rashly”).
His temious claims were believed by all but the more educated among us.

While his statement sounded rational and to the point, minor research proved them to be completely temious.

T︎E︎M︎O︎U︎S︎W︎A︎S︎T︎A︎O︎H︎O︎B︎I︎A︎ 

A fear of somone wasting your time for a small period of time.
Jeez you really have "T︎E︎M︎O︎U︎S︎W︎A︎S︎T︎A︎O︎H︎O︎B︎I︎A︎"
Whats that?
Look it up....
Holding by a thread. Ghostly at best.
I was all over that babe. Made advances that were tenuous at best, what with not having even talked at a personal level.
tenuous by tickulater December 27, 2011
A beautifully beaming and insightful person that's a ten on a scale of 1-9 but seems quite mentally fragile or struggling. When evaluating and placing a person as a "ten" on a general scale of beauty and intelligence but has past, maybe unresolved, issues. These are very wise, uplifting people to a fault.
Person2: I won't ever fully understand.. but I'm eager to help!
Person1: *deep breath* You're a tenuous. Thanks.
Person2: I'm glad we're friends!
Person2&1: *smiles*

His tenuous glow is blinding everyone of anyone's turmoil.

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!
