What time is it Mr. Wolf? 

A thrilling game played by action seeking youth, where-in a selected person is deemed as the "wolf". The "wolf" will face a wall and close his/her eyes, while the remaining participants line up a ways back. When the players scream, "What time is it Mr. Wolf?", they shall receive a number from the wolf, resulting in them moving forward the same amount of steps.
The game climaxes when the children ask the wolf for the time, and he informs them it is "LUNCHTIME". They will need to run back to the starting position, before the wolf pounces on them and gobbles them up.

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.

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!
