Woffording

Gerund of the verb "to Wofford." The act of publicly drinking or working with others in academic environment.

Oftentimes, hosting office hours or writing an essay while at a bar are referred to as Woffording in the American political science, international relations, and public policy community, particularly in the graduate student community. The etymology of this word derives from actions frequently taken by Professor Claire Wofford of the College of Charleston, but usage has spread nationally to graduate schools from coast to coast.
She rescheduled her office hours to 3 PM, hosting them in the on-campus bar where she would be Woffording, and offering her students to come join her if they had any questions about course material.

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.
