To cringle

To repeat a word, sentence, or paragraph multiple times within a narrative or in casual conversation, in meaning or by exact wording. The term was coined in honour of the writing of CringleDragons, a public game developer and community owner.
"It was peaceful out here, however, I felt this overwhelming feeling of peace that I never had before."
"The ivy-covered rock waited in the sun. After their meal, on almost every trip, the family ventured to the ancient monolith covered in ivy."
"Gryphons didn't like the high altitude ... They struggled because of the altitude."

"The author cringled at line 16."
"I was surely cringling around in my first draft."
"You just pulled a cringle on that."
"To cringle this bad, you really need to be mindless."

Cringed to Death

When something gets popular, and starts showing up in cringe-worthy videos, games, etc... just to attract little kids. Often happens to actually good things like Among Us, Poppy Playtime, Alphabet/Number Lore, etc...
Good things being cringed to death is a serious problem that the internet needs to stop.

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).
