Otherwise typically used when watching sport;

hoover doovers 

An alternate pronunciation for hors d'œuvres, based on their unusual spelling and the idea that one can hoover them up one after another.

Often associated with people not known for their sense of culture, such as members of the working class. Can be used jokingly or ironically.
It's already halfway through the first quarter and I'm starving! When's your wife gonna bring out some hoover doovers?

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.
