pedantosaur 

(puh-dan-toe-sore)
-noun

The precocious and pedantic use of esoteric words in a conceited, scholarly manner. The words are dropped into a conversation so frequently that they cannot be ignored, thus giving the speaker additional undeserved attention and perpetuating the cycle.
"I couldn't understand a word he said. I stopped listening to that narcissistic pedantosaur over an hour ago."

pedantsturbation 

n. any form of mental masturbation that is particularly pedantic; for instance, officiously correcting others' trivial mistakes with no constructive purpose; also, any type of discourse that is specifically designed to impress or confuse the reader/listener with "big" words and/or fancy phraseology, particularly to disguise the fact that: a) there is no real underlying point, or b) the pedantsturbator in question cannot defend his/her position with sound logic or evidence.

basically, it's like sophistry with an added masturbatorial goal, such as oneupmanship.
those creationists sure do try, but without compelling evidence, no amount of pedantsturbation will convince me that the theory of evolution isn't valid.

pendantasaurus

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!
