Chrematistics
The art of dealing with money; chremat - money (gr.).
What the so called Economics of today ought to be named. Today Economy is a word with diametrically opposed definitions and uses.
The original meaning is "to take care of scarce resources", also called husbandry. It has come to describe a system where a value is only appointed the scarce resources if they have been used up or destroyed and turned into money, and thus turned into numbers.
This way there seems to be a contradiction between Economy and Ecology. A contradiction that only exists because there is officially no word for the handling of money.

The use of 'chrematistics' will enable us to see the difference between sustainable development and the pure destruction of nature to gain money.

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
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!
