buckle up buttercup

Buckle up Buttercup is a sarcastic expression, denoting that one should get ready for some upcoming unpleasant or extreme action.

It is a bit of a sarcastic portmanteau between the "buckle up" phrase used to get people to use seat belts and "pucker up buttercup" meaning to prepare for a kiss. The sarcasm reverses the positive connotations.

Buckle up Buttercup, you just flipped by Bitch switch.

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!
