"Ewoking" (backslide or moonwalk) is a portmanteau word that combines the word "Ewok" with the word "moonwalk". It is a dance technique that presents the illusion of the dancer being pulled backwards while attempting to walk forward while a performer is dressed in the costume suit of an Ewok. It became popular around the world after it was executed on live television on MSNBC's Today Show Star Wars themed episode. See: drunk Ewoks on MSNBC's Today Show. Ewoks are a fictional species of teddy-bear-like hunter-gatherers that inhabit the forest moon of Endor from the movie Star Wars Episode VI.
Thomas was Ewoking on Halloween when he decided to Ewok his way to restaurant Akli in Montreal for a delicious shawarma.

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!
