Tinkertrain-syndrome 

MrTinkertrain is a user on IRC who cannot be identified by any other users on the network but knows who everyone else is.(exception to Admin and higher staff)
This causes 'Tinkertrain-syndrome'

Tinkertrain-syndrome: An IRC virus/infection which effects the curiosity of the victem(s).
Early warning signs of Tinkertrain-syndrome include denial, slight hate and mild begrudging curiosity.
The full blown Tinkertrain-syndrome infection/virus leads to insanity, voilent rage, rage /quit's and excessive pm's begging/pleading to find out the persons identity.


This can be adapted to other nicknames and other users on any network. The first case of this infection/virus was named after the first user not able to be identified.

MrTinkertrain is the original to the Nevitus IRC server. His true identity is still unknown.
Many have fallen in the quest to find it out... God rest their souls.


Warning logs are from the original MrTinkertrain users are advised to read with caution.
(Victems names have been changed)

Public chat example:

<user1> Hi, who are you?
<user2> Yeah who are?
<MrTinkertrain> A friend.
<user1> No seriously who are you and how do you know my name?
<user1> Does anyone know who MrTinkertrain is?
<user2> No but he knows us....

<MrTinkertrain> I'm sorry i have no wish to reveal my true identity.
<user1> Give me a clue?
<MrTinkertrain> No, sorry.
<user1> But you know who -I- am.

I mean I guess bro

a word of expression to when you give up on comprehending someone's words of ignorance, stupidity, absurdity or are too exhausted to formulate a proper response.

Commonly seen in TikTok comment sections in replies to lazy attempts at humor, overconfidentally incorrect statement, or an over-the-top comment or when someone completely misses the mark on something.
"actually... incorrect statement, hope this helps!"

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!

cornholio 

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.
"I am Cornholio! You do not want to face the wrath of my bunghole, for I need TP!"
Butthead: Shut up, Beavis! (uh huh huh huh)
Beavis: Um, okay. (heh heh heh heh).
