big whistle zing out 

A siren whistle sound effect created by Hanna-Barbera that is used in almost every freaking animated show. It was used regularly in their productions before the studio made their library royalty-free. That's when the sound spread to other studios. Nowadays, people are getting tired of hearing the sound especially when it's used in the more recent animated shows and films, and even some video games made use of it!

This sound is considered a mentally ill person's worst nightmare (or perhaps the entire Hanna-Barbera sound library). For some, they're just uncomfortable to hear, and for some, they pose a real health concern. Made especially worse if you have autism or Asperger's. If you hear just one sound or even this, you will have a heart attack or ligma, or a mental breakdown that could land you with PTSD. Better watch yourself when you watch YouTube because both can kill. But also beware of the sound being played in public. If possible, wear headphones with music turned up to max volume.
I wanted to play Pokémon Legends: Arceus on my Nintendo Switch, but I can't because it has that stupid big whistle zing out sound that nobody likes. Thank God for Sound Effects Wiki who helps me make informed decisions when I choose whatever games or shows I want to play or watch. When I'm out in public, I'll always listen to the soundtrack to the newest Touhou game to ensure that this sound and others never reach my ears.

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!

cornholio 

Ruler of Lake Titicaca. Rumored to have a bunghole that gets very angry if it does not receive toilet paper. Cornholio the Great is often seen walking around with his shirt over his head and his hands in the air, chanting songs about his power, and his bunghole.
"I am Cornholio! You do not want to face the wrath of my bunghole, for I need TP!"
Butthead: Shut up, Beavis! (uh huh huh huh)
Beavis: Um, okay. (heh heh heh heh).

A terrible style of football which is used to win games. Usually used when a team faces a better opponent and will get 11 players behind the ball.
