Dead Giveaway 

An incontrovertible sign that something is the case, that it is true.
"There were many things that pointed to murder, but the dead giveaway was when they found the bloody knife buried in a freshly dug hole in the backyard."

Dead Giveaway 

When all of the facts, and or implications of an event are brought to light, sometimes related to rescuing victims.
Example 1:“I knew something was wrong when a little pretty white girl ran into my black neighbor’s arms. Dead giveaway. Dead giveaway.”

Dead Giveaway 

1. Something that's proof/logical without proving it. It can also be expressed as "a dead giveaway."

2. A obvious giveaway or a sign.

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."

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!
