Spherical Bastard 

Someone who's a perfectly smooth bastard no matter which way you look at him.

Also works with Spherical nutjob, spherical jackass.

Syntax: Spherical cuss-word

History: Often attributed to the eccentric Swiss Astronomer Fritz Zwicky, who used to refer to fellow astronomers at the Mt. Wilson Observatory as Spherical Bastards. "Because", in his words, "they were bastards, when looked at from any side".

Your bastardness is as as the planets you flap about, spherical. You're a spherical bastard.

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!"

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!
