Safety-net sub 

After studying the vertigo-inducing range of lunchbreak subs (e.g. Taleggio, pine nut, grapefruit and rocket) - the overworked mind generally opts for less hostile territory. Picking an uncool, but boot-filling standby - (e.g. cheese).
Jim: Hey Bob, you gotta try this sun-dried octopus on flax-seed crostini. And it's only eight bucks fifty!
Bob: Nah man, I'm set with my safety-net sub.
Jim: (*shrugs*)
Bob: Ham.

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!
