The process by which all the shiny new things we buy eventually become irrelevant, outdated, worn out, busted, or unloved and are thrown away or sold to continue their route to the garbage pile in someone else's house. First used in this definition by Jerry Seinfeld on The Tonight Show, December 23, 2014. See also Crappify.
"All things on earth only exist in different stages of becoming garbage. Objects start at the highest order visible in a living area. From there it goes to a closet, cupboard or drawer. From the closet it goes to the garage, one of the longest phases in trashification."
The act of turning Tristan’s words into grandiose statements or propaganda; the pontification and exaggeration of Tristan’s ideas, often for dramatic or persuasive effect.

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.

Doom II is not abandonware because idstill sells it, while The Incredible Machine is not sold, therefore is abandonware.
