"before and after" photos 

The total bu**s**t "comparison of status/condition" images that supposedly show how much someone/something has been improved by your advertised products/services/philosophies. Often the "after" photos will have been re-touched to make the "result" look far better than it actually was, or the two sets of photos have merely been "switched" --- i.e., the "before" photos are actually of the deplorable/decrepit way that the person/object **presently looks**, and the "after" photos show how the person/object looked BEFORE you started messing around with your precious quackola "treatments" or "improvements"... in other words, the situation is EVEN WORSE OFF NOW THAT YOU'VE PRACTICED YOUR ADVERTISED TREATMENT, NOT BETTER!!!
This advertisement's "before and after" photos of people who were supposedly helped immensely by this fad diet certainly do look impressive at first glance, but I can't help observing that many of the people look noticeably **older** in the "before" photos... interesting...

Before and after event 

An event in someone’s life where there life completely changes who that person was before for better or worse
My mom died when I was young, I realise now that was my before and after event.
A small piece of information. Derived from the word ken, used often in the scottish language and is synonymous with knowledge.
Person 1: "Hey I don't get this shit. How do you solve this problem?"
Person 2: "I got that one. Give me some kenlets on this assignment and I'll help you w/ that one."

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.
"actually... incorrect statement, hope this helps!"

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!
