The Henry Higgins 

Henry Higgins comes from the film my fair lady where a linguistics professor teaches a girl who sells flower how to speak "better English". For a bet. This is so she can work a flower shop and go up in society. He never treats her like a person.
The Henry Higgins effect

When man belivies women need to be fixed to suit what he believes is a proper women. Whether she has asked him to it or not.Connected to the (cool trope) but its not the women pretending to be a Male fantasies but the man imposing his beliefs and values on her. Viewing her as object rather than a person. A man explains things to you but never ask what you think. Lectures you, corrects you,but never takes your feelings into consideration.

Leading women being systematically igorned in society left out. Viewed as obsolete or weird and different. " Why can't a woman be more like a man".

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!

Ruler of Lake Titicaca. Rumored to have a bunghole that gets very angry if it does not receive toilet paper. Cornholio the Great is often seen walking around with his shirt over his head and his hands in the air, chanting songs about his power, and his bunghole.

Beavis: Um, okay. (heh heh heh heh).
