Zebs.fesh.stekenda defect 

A German phrase that means, a self-hiding problem or defect. It describes a frustrating and commonly encountered situation, where you try and show someone a problem(or anomaly or defect) that you've been experiencing or observing, But you can't reproduce or demonstrate the problem because the problem or defect has seemingly MAGICALLY disappeared and everything functions or appears as it should!! (leaving you looking confused and feeling really stupid). These days it is most commonly a problem with your phone, computer or some kind of device (but it could be a problem or anomaly that you are experiencing or observing with anything really e.g. an abstract idea, an observed event, concept or demonstration).
<<Zebst.fash.stekenda.defect>> is a simplified phonetic pronunciation of the German phrase - Selbstversteckender Defekt - which means "Self-hiding problem or defect"

A more accurate pronunciation would be <<Zebst.fesht.stekenda defect>> the t sound on the first two phonemes adding to the authentic German-sounding pronunciation. [You can use Google translate for an accurate pronunciation rendition).

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!
