get medieval

To physically torture or injure someone by means of archaic methods, usually involving tools frequently used for blacksmithing or traditional feudal era torture. Example of such include thumbscrews, flesh peeling, and branding.

First coined by Marcellus Wallace in Quentin Tarantino's <i>Pulp Fiction</i> (1994).

"What now? Let me tell you what now. I'ma call a coupla hard, pipe-hittin' niggers, who'll go to work on the homes here with a pair of pliers and a blow torch. You hear me talkin', hillbilly boy? I ain't through with you by a damn sight. I'ma get medieval on your ass."

Exactly what the damn title says! This means to go Spanish Inquisition on someone's ass: thumbscrews, hooks, hot irons, needles, and anything else that reminds you of Saw or Hostel. Just picture Hellraiser, and you're Mr.Pinhead. The person you go medieval on is your own poor Frank Cotton.

Coined by Marcellus Wallace in Pulp Fiction, towards the hillbilly who went Deliverance on his rear.

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!
