An american ale, originally made in Newark, NJ but is now made elsewhere. Still found primarily on the East Coast and New Jersey. Often sold in 40oz bottles and pint cans. my favorite cheap beer straight up. dont get it twisted this is not 'malt liquour' like OE, Colt45, etc. Drank by old men, gangstaz, derelicts, and beer lovers alike!
first beer i got smashed on face down in the snow.
Instead of spending February 14 with a lover/partner, you spend it alone with a bottle of Ballantines scotch whiskey.
Herb : Are you taking the mrs out for a romantic valentines day dinner?
Murray : Nah mate, I don't celebrate that hallmark holiday. I'm celebrating Ballantines Day instead.....probably won't be in to work tomorrow....or in a relationship.
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 gamealive", so to speak.
Doom II is not abandonware because idstill sells it, while The Incredible Machine is not sold, therefore is abandonware.
