eurosplaining 

When Europeans smugly extol the virtues of their country in relation to the United States with respect to education and healthcare implying we don't actually know what's good for us and without heeding to and respecting the inertial power of the corporate oligarchy.
Many Western Europeans view the United States in such a broad brush strokes, they believe our issues are simple cases of widespread, willful ignorance rather than struggle against centuries of oligarchy. At cocktail parties, those afflicted feel compulsion to explain us into a state of enlightenment, scarcely realizing the extent of their eurosplaining with statements like, "We don't have any significant debt via education here in Germany. Seems like we are economically more feasible. Just a hint"

Exposplaining

A Digitallighting variant where the perpetrator “explains” to the target why an exposé about them is justified, often in the exposé itself. The target is told that they “forced” the exposé by their behavior, that the exposé is actually a service to them, or that they should be grateful for the “accountability.” Exposplaining adds a layer of gaslighting to public call‑outs, making the target feel that their own actions caused the harm and that they should accept the punishment.
Example: “The 30‑minute video exposé ended with the creator saying ‘I hope this helps you grow.’ Exposplaining: framing a public dismantling as a favor.”

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!
