Emergency brake

Meaning handbrake in English, there is no apparent reason for it to be called an emergency handbrake; as there isn’t often a emergency situation where it would be a good idea to lock up the back wheels. Smarter Americans call it a parking brake.

Yeee haw, I’m gonna park up and use the emergency brake to secure my car ya’ll.

Emergency Brake

When you're banging a chick from behind and she grabs your dick and yanks it up to her ass, similar to how one would engage a traditional parking brake on a car.

"Yeah so Im fucking this chick from behind, she yells "EMERGENCY BRAKE!" and next thing I know its in her ass!

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!
