I get so sick of hearing elected officials' spouting lots of "the economy and general social-status is great and getting better" calmmentary, when in reality nothing is noticeably better --- or maybe even worse --- than when said self-praising government hotshots originally took office!

calmmerce

Da trading of soothing/relaxing products and/or services.

A lot of traveling snake-oil salesmen promised placidity-aiding elixirs for da mind and body, but said calmmerce usually only benefited said sellers, while da duped purchasers of his quack-cure products actually ended up even MORE tensely hot under da collar when they discovered dat da "medicine" they'd expensively bought was merely a useless (and often highly toxic, such as ones containing mercury or arsenic!) mixture of potently-nasty stuff like turpentine or 100-proof grain-alcohol, dangerous narcotics like opium or cocaine, and harmfully-powerful laxatives like castor oil and even petroleum derivatives.

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!"
"I mean I guess bro"

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.
