komainu

Komainu, often called lion-dogs in English, are statue pairs of lion-like creatures, which traditionally guard the entrance or gate of the shrine, or placed in front of or within the honden of Japanese Shinto shrines. A twin pair of komainu, or two shishi/karajishi, are the typical stone-made creatures associated with gatekeeping on Shinto shrine grounds.

"I was at a Shinto shrine earlier, and I saw one of those cool lion-dog things."
"You mean a Komainu?"
"Yeah, a Komainu."

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.
