new gcses 

Evidence of how dimwitted the government is - that is the people who we're supposed to trust to run our country. They are essentially gcses but made harder for no good reason

Like when in real life would you have to work out some scientific equation but not have the necessary formulas accessible? (Science)
Who really cares about the deeper meanings of lines in shakespeare?(English Lit)
When in real life would someone ask you why there is a comma at this part of the sentence?(English Lang)
When in real life are you going to a country worth visiting where they don't speak english?(MFL)

This is the kind of rubbish the government thinks they are "preparing" us for.

What's worse is no one actually knows how this new system works and year 11s 2017 are the guinea pigs who will suffer from this madness.
Additionally, 2 years later your gcses count for nothing because once you've done your a levels that is all anyone cares about!

Yes we are expected to toil and sweat and experience major stress over 11 subjects that are mostly irrelevant to real life to receive results that become meaningless!!!
Government: Hey - in case you didn't think gcses were already hard and pointless enough we've created new gcses! We do this because we like two torment teenagers as if they're not struggling already with puberty and all.
And oh yeah just to make things more confusing we're gonna grade you with numbers now, not letters

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!

cornholio 

Ruler of Lake Titicaca. Rumored to have a bunghole that gets very angry if it does not receive toilet paper. Cornholio the Great is often seen walking around with his shirt over his head and his hands in the air, chanting songs about his power, and his bunghole.
"I am Cornholio! You do not want to face the wrath of my bunghole, for I need TP!"
Butthead: Shut up, Beavis! (uh huh huh huh)
Beavis: Um, okay. (heh heh heh heh).
