hood crickets 

The repeated beeping sounds from multiple smoke alarms with low batteries, often heard in apartments or homes in low-income neighborhoods where people either can’t afford or don’t bother to replace them.
I was on the phone with my boy, and every few seconds, I kept hearing that beep. I said, ‘Bro, change your smoke alarm battery!’ He just sighed and said, ‘Man, those are just the hood crickets singing.

Hood Crickets are the smoke alarm noises made right after the batteries ran out.
Your YT video is amazing but those hood crickets are annoying.

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.

Commonly seen in TikTok comment sections in replies to lazy attempts at humor, overconfidentally incorrect statement, or an over-the-top comment or when someone completely misses the mark on something.
"actually... incorrect statement, hope this helps!"
"I mean I guess bro"

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!
