micro-relationship 

When you've been engaging in sexual activity with another person for 2 to 5 months monogamously, but then the relationship abruptly ends. This is before you are officially dating and refer to said other person as a boyfriend or girlfriend. Toward the end of the experience, you begin to question whether you will end up with this person until you realize that a more likely outcome is that you will never see them again.

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!
