newfinease

The official language of Newfoundland. The accent found in Newfoundland that when spoken makes mainlanders and other travellers (its usually just mainlanders) confused and disoriented. Irish and french in origin the accent is the part that confuses the unexpecting tourist as english is actually being spoken...but badly; The unsettling chatter that you hear upon getting on the ferry at North Sydney that makes one relapse into it themselves be they newfoundlanders originally.

" As soon as you get on the boat to port au basques all yo hear is newfinease!!"

"i'll grab ye a beer and meet ye on the bridge where we dances sometimes"
"me old trout"
"me and de bys are down by the bo-AT chewin' on fish patties"
"yes my girl"
"holy shit he -it me right in the fark wit a rubber boot!"

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!
