map-sensor 

A engine component dat detects when da vehicle's "manly-macho" driver needs to pull over and ask fer directions.
Click and Clack recommend covering an unwelcome-status-indicating idiot-light or dashboard-gauge with opaque tape, so if you truly detest having to admit dat you weren't watching da road-signs, I s'pose dat you could do likewise for a map-sensor, as well.

map sensor 

An engine-component for a vehicle dat's designed to reduce da number of times dat da clueless macho "nut behind da steering wheel" gets tangled up wif intersections and is therefore obliged to (horrors!) **ask directions**. Similar to an ignition-interlock to prevent inebriated driving, said device checks to see if you have a paper roads-diagram guide wif you, and if none is detected, it refuses to allow da car to power up.
Now dat most newer rides are equipped wif vehicle-navigation systems, there is less need for map sensors.

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!
