distracticon 

a colleague who transforms from a hard-working, concientious individual into a web-surfing, joke-emailing, prank-pulling, clock-watcher in the last hour of the working day.
transformations often occur earlier on fridays or on any day the distracticon knows they won't be in the following day.

also applies to family/friends/partners when something of interest enters their circle of awareness, resulting in vacant looks later when reminded of what they'd promised earlier (whilst distracted)

distracticon 

A play on the word, Decepticon from Transformers:
(n.) a person that continually interferes, interrupts, or distracts one from achieving their intended goal(s).
Every hour that "distracticon" calls me to borrow something; it's no wonder I can't get anything done.
He's friends with all his exes, but until those "distracticons" stop calling, he'll never meet anyone new.

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.

"actually... incorrect statement, hope this helps!"

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.
